Description:

Today I'm posting the Enstrom 480, I didn't post an aircraft for a while because my internet router had a problem. But I'm back here. Take care when landing the helicopter, the skids of the aircraft can make the helicopter flip and destroy the main rotor. But even so, if you can modify it, improving the control and adding new paintings. For now I will not respond to comments. Have fun with the helicopter!

Wikipedia:

The Enstrom 480 is a small, light helicopter produced by the Enstrom Helicopter Corporation.
In the 1980s the Enstrom Helicopter Company was producing two helicopters, both powered by horizontally-opposed piston engines. When the United States Army revealed a requirement for a turbine-powered training helicopter, the company designed a larger, turbine-powered version of its 280 Shark. The proposed unit was designated TH28 (TH for "training helicopter" derived from the 28(0), since the Army's proposal was NTH, "new training helicopter").
The Army contract effort was not successful, but the company effort looked promising enough that management committed to continue with a commercial version, which was introduced in 1993. Its power was provided by the C20W variant of the Rolls-Royce Model 250 turboshaft engine.
