[Actual real life photo of type 173👆🏼]
The Bristol Type 173 was a British twin-engine, tandem rotor transport helicopter built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company.[1] It was designed by Raoul Hafner as a civil transport helicopter but evoked interest from the military. It did not enter production but was developed into the Bristol Belvedere which was operated by the Royal Air Force from 1961 to 1969.-wikipedia. Tip: keep the throttle low, or else the helicopter will start to act like it had it’s billionth dose of medical cannabis. By that i mean the helicopter will start to go out of control, throttle to 0% when yaw-ing.
