Helimex's scale turbine CH-47 Chinook build thread

Helimex · 07-03-2007, 04:16 PM

Hi everybody :

I’m just joined but have been reading about the Hopper’s project. Amazing and over 30 fly’s now!! Congratulation Hopper. I’m in construction process now of a 1:11 scale model of the Chinook B47 (1400 mm fuselage length), three blade rigid rotors heads (1680 mm diam. each) and, the most interesting, I think, powered by a turbo-jet engine. This friday I'll get the engine (hopefully) and I'll show it.

Dude that is incredible! I can't wait to see it flying and fully painted

. How much will that full build end up costing?

Costing? Please don´t make me think in that

. The turbine is a Super Bee two stage version by Jet Central (ex Artes) <http://www.jetcentral.com.mx>. I have a lot of work to do and still waiting for the stabilizer, a three axis auto pilot "HeliCommand Rigid" by Robbe <http://www.helicommand.com/home_en.html>. The tandem mixer is a TH-2 from Joe.

Here's a third on the motion to see a build thread on your 47, Helimex!!!!

Helimex · 07-08-2007, 01:13 AM

Yeahh!! The baby came home today

. This piece of Hi-Tech is really awesome, unbelievable, and sound like a real bird. This week I´ll work hard to install all on. The alignment is the point. I will enjoy :wink:

Funky · 07-08-2007, 05:30 PM

That is very :glasses2:

Trumpetrhapsody · 07-08-2007, 05:48 PM

I wish I could afford to build a turbine heli

. Can't beat the sound! So did you design this yourself or are you following a instructions or a kit?

Cool Helimex, that looks so cool. I Might be in Veracruse in a few months, I plan on stopping there for fuel and a few Coronas, on my way to Belise. I live in south Texas but I love San Pedro. I will be intresed to see the thread as it grows. I am looking at a tandem when I get to where I can fly Really well. My wife wont let me get one until I can fly my CPP pretty well.

Gra55h0pper · 07-12-2007, 10:35 PM

WOW!!!

chinookmark · 08-08-2007, 05:55 PM

OMG!! Where did you find that monstrocity/masterpiece? Is that a kit? Scratchbuilt?

blax1 · 08-08-2007, 11:21 PM

Its been a month since any further action??
I hope all is well

chinookmark · 08-13-2007, 09:27 PM

Chinook (3 min 55 sec)

hurleybt · 12-15-2007, 11:02 PM

Outstanding!!!!! I can't wait to see it fly!!!!

WayneBrown · 12-16-2007, 07:29 AM

Chinook on the floor but not yet (3 min 10 sec)

_ZeF · 12-16-2007, 08:05 AM

I am totally stunned!

billyd · 12-19-2007, 09:43 AM

Obviously, Helimex is a master. My mouth is agape. Stunning work.

That thing must have cost him 5 figures, maybe 6. Incredible.

I wouldn't have the nerve to lift off with it. Crashing that thing, well, that woud be like seeing your dog run over.

theglennster · 01-08-2008, 06:32 PM

Helimax this is awesome work

How is the project progressing we need more Pics and video.

Or has the wife filed for divorce ?

Cheers
