Thank you so much for your kind comments. I will pass on your message to the modeller. Cheers, Aaron.

Richard Morin Thanks Richard, I'll pass on your compliments to Michael. Cheers, Aaron.

Hey man, thank you very much. I will pass on your regards to the Michael. Cheers, Aaron.

Thank you Sergio ;-)

Thank you 🙏

Hey mate thanks for dropping in on my channel. Have you seen the other big RC choppers videos I have? Check out the playlist on my channel. Cheers Aaron

+DCTTeacher1 I've seen um all lol

+New England Fb lol that's awesome. Thank you

Thank you :-)

saul alvarado Hi Saul, thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for commenting. Agreed, the LAFD really have some awesome paint schemes. I will also pass on your comments to Michael. Great talking to you. Regards, Aaron (Melb, Aust).

Hello Col. Your comment made me laugh. Only because I think of myself just the day making some scones for some friends that I had over for morning tea. They looked like roadkill but apparently my guests liked them. Mmmm, or maybe they were just being polite. Thanks for watching. I have some other big RC helicopter videos in my playlist. Did you see the big Bell 47's (MASH) choppers that Michael also built? Cheers, Aaron.

Much appreciated John cheers 🍻

+Luvtoflyhelis G'day mate, thanks for your kind comments. Michael is very proud of his scale helicopters. He's currently building two large Bell 47G's. I can't wait to fly one. I will soon upload another video of Michael's super scale Lama. Cheers Aaron.

Thank you John and greetings from Australia 🙏.

Hi Ralph, yes he does an excellent job. Michael has just built twi Bell 47G's. They are totally awesome. I will upload a new video soon. Cheers

HeliChrissi RC Thank you 😊

+jsilence418 Thank for watching and for taking the time to comment. Kind regards, Aaron.

DCTTeacher1 is there a website or something I can get this at. Or buy all the parts

Hi Brian, thank you very much. Glad you liked the video. Cheers, Aaron.

cheers , to be there to see it fly would make my day a work of art . thanks a.

Thanks Brian. Yes it was great to see this big bird fly. Mick has since sold this large helicopter. However, did you see the other helicopter (Bell Jetranger) video that I uploaded? It's even bigger than this one.

Hi Jim, you're very welcome mate. Glad you enjoyed the video. Make sure you pop back to my channel from time to time as I've got a couple of new videos coming up real soon. Two scratch built XL Bell47G scale helicopters and a XXL Bell Jetranger. Cheers, Aaron.

Daniel Isabelle Hi mate, thanks for support. Michael did an awesome job on this machine. Cheers, Aaron.

***** Thanks man, I appreciate your feedback. Cheers ;-)

blackpowderize Thanks mate. I'll pass on your nice comments to Mick. He's a top bloke and a bloody talented builder. Cheers, Aaron.

Thank you Abu. We appreciate your feedback ;-)

Thank you Tom ;-)

Hi David. Thank you for watching my video. Yes, Michael builds very nice helicopters and this one was moulded off an original Vario (I think?). Mick does all his own fibreglassing from making the plug, building the mould and completing the FRP layup. It's always a pleasure talking with other fellow modellers. Cheers, Aaron.

***** Hey man, thanks for the thumbs up and feedback. It's very much appreciated. I will pass on your comments to Michael when I see him next. Cheers, Aaron.

Thanks a lot 😊

Thanks Jack ;-)

Thank you Behdad. Have a great day ;-)

+Steve Horsham Hi Steve, thanks for watching and providing positive feedback. Cheers, Aaron.

+Frenk Sanga Hi Frenk, thanks for watching and for providing feedback. Much appreciated, Aaron.

Hola, gracias por mirar. Sí, hizo un trabajo increíble en este helicóptero a gran escala. Tengo muchos otros en mi lista de reproducción. Publicaré el enlace a continuación. Salud, Aaron. ru-vid.com/group/PLSlaZsvoFvDoQ-PQxpmjx_xwE__1siNu-

Y tiene un costo alto me imagino...yo solo tengo maquetas ..que hermosa maquina..la verdad nunca e visto uno de cerca..te felicito nuevamente.y .tienes mas videos ??

@@ricardoleyton4913 Hello and thank you. More large RC helicopter videos in the link I provided in the previous comment. Cheers, Aaron.

Hi Edwin, thanks for the support and thumbs up. It's much appreciated, kind regards, Aaron 👍

Thank you very much ;-)

Not problem, because it's amazing helicopter. Real great, no...GREAT work. I love it. I love scale(my hobby is crawler), but it one of greatest heli of I see

Thanks man I really appreciate it. I like your RC car collection. Great to see that you don't mind getting them muddy. I thought it was real for a moment :-)

hello your

MStreppelhoff Hello and thanks for watching. Always great to hear from people from the other side of world. I will tell Michael to paint some stripes on his blades. All the best. Regards, Aaron.

The Truth Thank you 😊

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering welcome. Hey question if you don't mind. I have alot of experience with nitro cars ie 1/8th scale 1/10th scale off and on road but know absolute zero about helis. I purchased a blade sr uh1 Huey from a guy who never flew it. When I throttle up and around mid stick it starts to get light on the skids but tends to drift to the left. Swash plate is level on the horizontal and very very little tilt forward. Some say it's normal I've read it is electric with ccpm. What is your opinion. Am I not being to aggressive with the throttle? It is set for normal flight mode and low rate. I've read you are suppose to almost snap it up to get out of the bad rotor wash but I'm kinda scared it goes psycho on me? Your opinion plz?

Hey buddy, it sounds correct. If it's set up old school it should have -2 degrees pitch bottom stick, +5 degrees pitch mid stick and +10-12 pitch top stick. This is different then a modern 3D pitch curve. I suggest getting a flight simulator and practising on that first. Otherwise, I suggest going to your local RC model club and ask for help. If you've never hovered before, you will need a trainer undercarriage. I suggest getting help before you fly it again. Otherwise it will just end up in the bin. Cheers, Aaron.

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering appreciate it. I will get with my local hobby shop bc my transmitter is the old hp6dsm. Throttle curves are preset on it. Thank you for advice I will follow it. Great heli you got there indeed.

You're very welcome buddy. Best to get assistance mate, you don't want to crash her. Thanks man, this chopper belongs to my good mate Michael. I've heaps of other big scale helis on my channel if you check out my playlist. Cheers, Aaron.

Thank you very much. Yes Michael does brilliant work. The model uses a petrol powered 28cc Zenoah engine. Because most scale models tend to be slightly overweight they do not have the power of a Pod & Boom helicopter. Therefore, you have to be on them and fly them accordingly. Have a great day ;-) Cheers, Aaron

rodcre8s Hey man, thanks for the positive feedback. I agree, Michael, the builder & owner did an awesome job of his scale Bell Huey. I'm not sure of the hours, but I as guess I would say a couple of hundred. Cheers, Aaron..

Thank you Fabian ;-)

Donna Oshea Hi Rocky, I will send you a PM to your channel now.

Hello Phillip. Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully I'll have a new one uploaded soon over the next couple of weeks. Cheers Aaron

hello dcttecher 1

Vintage toys-melbourne australia-victoria Hi mate, is this Denzel?

yes

Vintage toys-melbourne australia-victoria Ok cool. I didn't recognise you as you must have changed your RU-vid name. Cheers, Aaron

+Ethan Passman Hello Ethan, I wasn't the one piloting the RC helicopter, it was my friend Michael. He built this machine from scratch. I will pass on your kind comments to him. Thanks for watching :-)

u r welcome

Donna Oshea G'day Rocky.Thanks for watching my video. I'm also a huge fan of the Huey. It was a marvelous machine. I have spoken to Michael regarding your question and he has explained how he does it. Simply purchase a 1/35 scale plastic kit from a toy shop and then you measure the plastic model and multiply your measurements by 35 to obtain the 1:1 size. Hope this helps? Cheers, Aaron.

Thank you 🙏

+Weetalij Catzoora Thank you ;-)

Skit10daddoleSucker Hey man. Flying RC Helicopters is a great hobby. You meet new people and the support / comradely from other modelers is fantastic. Basically everyone starts out flying pod & boom and once you become proficient many move into scale modeling or hard core 3D. Michael is the owner and builder of this helicopter. He is a master builder and he scratch builds all his models. He uses fiberglass in the majority of his builds. Thanks for watching my video. Cheers, Aaron.

Hey Rodney. Thanks for watching. Yeah, lots of scale detail missing, but still a nice looking model 👍

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering Yes absolutly indeed. Very impressed with this build. lots of time, money, effort, & swear words went into this beauty. Thankya for sharing.

smiffy788 Hi mate, most definately you could. However, you would have to modify the mechanics. Most of Michael's large scale RC choppers have a modified or self made petrol (benzine) mechanic. Cheers, Aaron ;-)

Thank you. I shot this video a really long time ago now using my iPhone. I've since got way better camera gear. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers, Aaron.

Hey mate, we have another member of our group who has built his own co-axial helicopter. Full blown collective and cyclic pitch. I should do a video on it. He built around a Raptor pod and boom. Cheers Aaron

AUTOSKIDS Now that would be cool to fly it FPV style out the back of your van. However, I don't think my mate Michael would agree to it hahaha Cheers, Aaron

DCTTeacher1 HAHA Aaron. If i was your mate Michael, I wouldn't let some cowboy fpv flyer "HAVE A GO" either. But one thing i would love to see is the view from a camera mounted on a pan and tilt system inside the cab. That could be done without risk and if i was around i would offer to do it. How is( my) honda chopper going? Have you made that gear yet?

tonyg981 Hi Tony. Michael uses a Jakadoski tail rotor gearbox on his large Huey. Hope this helps you? Cheers, Aaron.

+Furquan Raza Hello and thanks for watching. Making a helicopter like this is very complicated and it requires a wide skill set such as CAD Design, fibreglassing, machining and mechanical aptitude. I would suggest joining your local hobby club and ask for assistance from your fellow modellers. All the very best. Aaron.

+Furquan Raza Hello Furquan, please note that these model helicopters aren't toys and they're aren extremely dangerous. Not recommended for young children. I'm sorry but I don't have any instructions.

+Ricardo Espinoza Hi Ricardo, thanks for watching and posting a comment. This helicopter was scratch built by Michael using a fibreglass fuselage and mechanics that he made himself. To purchase something like this would anywhere from $3K - $6K. Cheers, Aaron (Melbourne, Australia)

I think was a Zenoah PUH-26cc engine

Hello and thank you for your kind comment. Yes Michael builds certainly builds some really impressive models. Take a look at the large Bell 47G's he built here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GhbyZfScJ1s.html Good pick up. Depending on the model, some Huey's have the tail rotor on that side. Unfortunately we are stuck with that main rotor rotation due to blades and gearing etc. Ok, thanks for watching and have a awesome day. Cheers, Aaron.

William Lapo Hey William. Agreed turbine mechanics would look and sound awesome, unfortunately they're a whole different issue. There is cost, complexity and also certification required to operate turbine models. Hey, Your experience in real aviation sounds awesome. We play with models, but you actually do it for real. Do you have some videos on RU-vid? I will check out your channel. Oh, check out Earl Watters channels. He does heaps of heli flying (Jet & Long Rangers, Sky Crane, and MD). Thanks for watching. Cheers, Aaron.

Thanks for your feedback and support. I suggest you take your Heli to your local flying club and ask for assistance. Cheers

thx so much

Hi James, I can't actually remember now. But the model is an exact copy from a Vario gas mechanic body. So I think it could have been 1:5 but don't quote me on that. Cheers, Aaron.

Hi Carl, yes it certainly is a big chopper. Check out some of the other big helicopters that I have on my channel too mate. The Jet ranger is even bigger. Cheers, Aaron.

Ok dude

Nah mate, you'll need more horsepower than that ;-)

+DCTTeacher1 : Thank you sir for replying.How much HP do we need.Also,how much is the maximum height your awesome machine can attain ?

+VIKAS SINGH Hello Vikas. The petrol engines in these helicopters are made by Zenoah (Komatsu industries) and they are approximately 23cc - 30cc in size which is about 5-6 horsepower. In Australia you must fly your radio control helicopter and keep it within line of sight. However, I think the maximum range is about 4km. Have a nice day Vikas and thanks for watching my videos. Kind regards, Aaron.

Hi Mike, it depends if you purchase a kit from Vario or a similar company. You usually have to supply your own mechanic (motor & frames) and purchase the fueslarge kit for $1K. Michael made this scale helicopter himself (fibreglass and mechanics) for approximately $3K - $5K

Yes it uses a Zenoah PUH26 motore. Cheers, Aaron

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering what's the length of the main blade ?and the weight of the Heli?Thanks

Hello, Michael didn't buy this helicopter he built the entire thing himself. It probably cost a couple of thousand dollars to build, but it's worth much more. Thanks for your interest. Cheers Aaron

how to build something like that? It is very hard

Sorry mate this was scratch built by the owner and it has now been sold. You can buy a similar machine from a company in Germany called Vario. Thanks for watching :-)

Hey Ralph, you made us laugh. I just came back from the field with Mick where I showed him your comment. Hey, check out my Instagram account under the same user name. I have pics of the Bell's and a short video clip. Cheers Aaron

Hello. Sorry this machine was sold approximately 2 years ago.

DCTTeacher1 aww crap! Can you message me and tell me how much it sold for pls?

pofrani hi mate. This completed model sold for $5.5K aud. He can supply a fibreglass fuselage (unfinished pulled from the mold) for $700.

Hi Khalid, I'm sorry but it my friend who makes them. He's not making them at the moment.

Hey Sando, I think this helicopter might actually be 1:7 scale :-)

Beautifull Huey !

Thank you Sandro ;-)

Thanks mate

I will ask my friend how much

Hi Khalid, this helicopter has now been sold. I'm not sure how much it is worth. I think it was between $3K - $5K. Thank you for watching ;-)

Hi Abdallah, thanks for watching. This helicopter was scratch built by Michael. He used fibreglass and a mould to make the fuselage and sourced many different parts for the mechanic. He no longer has this model as it was sold to a collector last year. Have a nice day and thanks for commenting. Regards, Aaron

+DCTTeacher1 how much would it cost to pay him

+That Guy Greg to you know sell and ship one of those

Hi Greg, this helicopter has now been sold.

Hey Greg, I clicked send to quick. Depending on what stage you would want it completed. For example, just the fibreglass body or a complete painted and flying chopper up to $10K AUD.

Sorry this model has already been sold. Thanks for watching ;-)

DCTTeacher1 do you mind if i ask how much it would cost to buy one like yours? I have been looking for one for years!

Hey bud, it depends on what you have or available at the time. If you have a donor model you can buy a fueslarge from Vario (Germany) and insert your mechanic into it. I think this model sold for $4-6K aud. But don't qoute me on that, as it wasn't my helicopter. Cheers, Aaron

BMBE TRINATIONALTRUST Hello, Michael is happy to hear from people. However, would you mind emailing your questions to me and I will pass it on to him immediately? You can get my email from the about section on my channel. Regards, Aaron.

our question has not changed do you have contact information for Michael?

+BMBE TRINATIONALTRUST Yes

Hi Rey, I'm not exactly sure mate. My friend Michael built this helicopter himself. If I had to guess maybe $5000. He has sold this model now. Regards, Aaron.

Hello Claudia. Very sorry this model was sold nearly 2 years ago.

how much can a helicopter be worth ... and they do not sell anymore or ... because I really want to buy one

Now you have to tell me it's worth 6 million dollars

Hello, I think he sold this 2nd hand model for approximately $5000 Australian ($3.5K USD)

LOL, no they're not that expensive :-)

Approx $3K-5K aud as it was scratch built

Thank you :-)

really enjoyed the view nice Chopper James Lane across the street from the downtown Airport Kansas City Missouri

Hi James nice to meet you. I live in Melbourne Australia. Yes Michael makes some very nice models and the attention to detail is exceptional. Cheers, Aaron.

Hello Bellboy, Thanks for watching and commenting. To be honest, yes I agree with you. But when you have limited resources and money unfortunately the "weed whacker" is our only option lol ;-) Cheers, Aaron.

Zenoah 26cc petrol engine made by parent company Komatsu

should use turbine

Not my model. Plus Turbine cost approx $6K - $10K here in Australia ;-)

Thank you :-). Yes I know, most RC helicopters have the clockwise rotation. Some Vario models have the counter rotating rotors. Cheers, Aaron.

I can not remember that there is a tail rotor that did not turn against the main rotor. Because that also stabilizes the tail rotor. Weird that your tail rotor turns the wrong way. But it's your heli. Regards.

Not my helicopter. It's a club members. I would say the tail rotor was put on that side to make it look more scale realistic. However, it should be cutting up into the downwash. Funnily enough it still flies rather well ;-)

OK. Then you must indeed make a choice, to place the heck rotor on the right side according to scale. Yes, despite the wrong direction of rotation. I think the heli also fly and steer well. Regards and thanks for your response.

Hello Ariel. I will see what photos I have and I will email them to you. Cheers, Aaron.

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering Hola , muchas gracias por responder , el motor que vos usaste en tu helicoptero es de una motoguadaña , no?Lo que mas me gusto es que yo venia pensando en hacer algo asi y veo y me encuentro con tu video , muy bueno!!!!

Standard airfoil section for RC aircraft.

DCTTeacher1 if he made the fuselage himself he should damn right make the blades the right width

Delta oh ok then. Didn’t know you were such an authority on such matters. We will get on to it immediately for you.

DCTTeacher1 yes maybe no but the thing that makes a huey so famous is it’s 2 massive blades half a meter wide, not a little bell 206’s blades

Yes it would have been nice, but unfortunately not everyone can afford one.
