Bell 47G

Bell 47 - The Classic of the Skies:

The Bell 47 is a single-rotor single-engine light helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It was based on the third Bell 30 prototype, which was the company's first helicopter designed by Arthur M. Young. The 47 became the first helicopter certified for civilian use on 8 March 1946. The first civilian delivery was made on 31 December 1946 to Helicopter Air Transport. More than 5,600 Bell 47s were produced, including those under license by Agusta in Italy, Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan, and Westland Aircraft in the United Kingdom. The Bell 47J Ranger is a modified version with a fully enclosed cabin and tail boom.

Early models varied in appearance, with open cockpits or sheet metal cabins, fabric covered or open structures, some with four-wheel landing gear. Later model D and Korean War H-13D and E types settled on a more utilitarian style. The most common model, the 47G introduced in 1953, can be recognized by the full "soap bubble" canopy,[4] exposed welded-tube tail boom, saddle fuel tanks and skid landing gear.

The later three-seat 47H had an enclosed cabin with full cowling and monocoque tail boom. It was an attempt to market a "luxury" version of the basic 47G. Relatively few were produced.


Important information:
-Since I don't know much about setting the button names yet, there may be typos and misspelled words. But they work normally.
-To take off, pull the VTOL lever gently.

    Looking very nice, but controls with the sort of gyro makes it kinda hard to fly like a real helicopter.
    Next time think about making gyro settings of the rotor 0 !

    @RealBLIP93 this would be more San Andreas, the one in GTA V is based more off the Schweizer S300

    Marvelous visuals, marvelous flying characteristics. I call on @Jundroo to make this the standard demonstrator helicopter in their new game.

    One gripe though: 2500 hp.on tht rotor is overkill. The helicopter flies perfectly, even better, with only 250

    This is impressive. One thing though, the gyroscope is not needed and I found it much more fun to fly without the gyro
