BrickStorm Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) That is really nice. I love how you've taken your inspiration from the Ka-25/27/32 Family of helicopters. Do those rotors actually counter-rotate? to me it looks like the parts near the center of the rotor hub (that make it look more authentic) would actually clash if it did. Either way, it's a really nice small chopper that easily avoids any attempt to seem generic, so well done! P.S., so tell me, is the name for this chopper going to be called the "Double Helix"?

ZeeK Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 IMO, the inspiration came from Ka-x26 series. Many thanks for sharing your award winning MOC!!! Reaaly nice and well-done! Let me the first to post "I'm a conformist!!" © lightningtiger Quote
BrickStorm Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Oh, wow. I totally didn't even realize the Ka-26 existed. Congratulations de-marco! Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 AWESOME copter 'de-marco' ! Congratulations as well on winning with this creation of yours ! I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Carbohydrates Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I like your MOC, particularly the detail in the rotor shaft, but I'm REALLY enjoying your presentation! You could have just shown the chopper on its own, but putting it on a little landing pad with a passenger and some cargo makes all the difference. The sharp photography doesn't hurt, either! Quote
Orcasek Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 This is cool, the bottom of the back thing looks plain though. Quote
Hey75 Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 That a nice one. How i wish TLG will have one of these. Quote

This MOC has won the "AirShow Contest" held by www.phantoms.su (probably Google translate will help with this link?). One on the major requirements the entries have to satisfy was the presence of ground (or water) scenery with some sort of interaction with the aircraft. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Very interesting chopper design, and very nice presentation too. Good job de-marco. I love the double rotor blades, thought the body of the chopper seem to be light IMO. It seems like the body is too light for the massive double rotor blades that the chopper would be unstable in flight (would constantly swerve). Pardon my limited knowledge in aeronautics/aviation.

Brig. Brick Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 this is a great design, it seems to be adjustable to in an official design from TLG great MOC Quote
prateek Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Very nice. It has a very unusual design in that you used the old classic helicopter wind screen. Quote
Ralph_S Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Very nice helicopter of an unusual design. I like the coaxial rotors and the landing gear in particular. Congratulations on winning the competition. Cheers, Ralph Quote
Peppermint_M Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I love helicopters! Sorry for taking so long to blog it Quote
harrysnapperorgans Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Great copter, it has a cool shape and is beautifully constructed. Quote
