Tony's First Attempts

[Whirlybird]

Here's a short 5 min. video I found of Tony's first attempts at model Helicopters . . .

Notice how he continually works to improve his design, finally coming up with one that is flybarless

Even the cows get into the act

Now that's a new meaning to fly by wire! Lol

thanks for the video. those guys were the only lhs. it must have cost a fortune to R&D then get the parts made. holy cow. loved the skids on the second one, wish my heli's had skids that cushion the landings lol. you could get a nice pitch pump on the bounce.. like preloading your shocks on a jump

The clips were actually of Arthur Young's experiments in rotory flight. He teamed up with Bell Aircraft to give us the "Bell 47", "Jet Ranger", UH1 Huey", "AH1 Cobra", to name a few

[Whirlybird]

Thanks again Lee

Still can't edit that first post . . . Weird!!!!!

 

[Tony]

Yeah, it is weird cause you should have editing rights being over 100 posts.

 

[Whirlybird]

Yeah, Tony, it's just the first post in the thread. Every other one I can edit, including this.

 

[Tony]

Interesting. I have not found any reason for this, and there is no option to seperate out the first thread from the other threads. i will have to contact vbulletin and talk to them. I know just the girl that can help me out with this issue. May be a while though.
