Bell 526 (Training Aircraft)

1,732 Ohmyus  4.6 years ago

This helicopter is very easy to fly, with great maneouverability and a fairly strong propeller. It's the third version of a training chopper that I've made and by far the best, since it has a decent cockpit interior and the flight model is spot on.


Controls:
Action group 1 to power up the propeller
Throttle is the collective for the propeller
The rest works the same


Specifications:
Top speed: about 160 mph, but it becomes very unstable and hard to control.
I think that It's possible to hover with this helicopter, but I couldn't do it.
Liftoff at 45% throttle and hover without ground effect at ~60% throttle
