Robinson R44

17.5k Thorne  4.2 years ago

Thought I would try making something no -fictional for once, I know this belicopter well and the R44 has a simpler shape to it. The windows were tough to do and look a bit ugly so I feld bubble-windows look the best match for what I am able to do. Power & Weight are based on the Raven II, I did my best to match some performance characteristics like airspeed (100kts for a Raven II with bubble windows) but we all know the blades in simpleplanes aren’t that realistic. I added a gyro for stability, the blades in simpleplanes don’t respond as realistically with the horsepwer and blade count of the Raven II.

Sorry for the iOS photos, I don’t have access to a laptop at the moment.

    Thanks man, glad you like it, it happens to be my go-to as the standard for my helicopters’ flight characteristics lol (or at least how I remembered it, the tail rotor seems to want to fight back) @DeewxAviation

    Very noice. Would you consider making an EC-120 helicopter at some point in the future? It’s a very sick looking helicopter and I think you would be great at building it.
