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?

Helimex
That is awsome ,,, and it will sound awsome also .... great job keep us posted with pix and videos as soon as you can .

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?

Kindling Maker · 07-09-2007, 07:41 AM

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

Check this out:

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
Glenn

lrrps · 07-21-2008, 01:32 PM
