Man i love this hobby.
The bell 222a.
The Honeywell LTS-101-650C-3 turboshafts, later replaced by two Allison 250 turboshafts plus other refinements.
Engine output is 100% rated at 9598 RPM. Two independent drive shafts deliver power from the engines to the transmission.
The Bell 222's LST-engine exhaust stacks are located at the rear of the engines, while the 230's Allison-engine exhaust stacks are located high on the cowling.
Two-blade, semi-rigid high-kinetic energy main rotor with preconing and underslinging. The rotor head incorporates elastomeric bearings for hub springs, flapping and pitch change bearings. The system is similar in design to that used by the AH-1 Cobra. Rotor speed at 100% engine speed is 348 RPM.
All series models incorporate a pusher-type two-bladed tailrotor mounted on the left side of the tailboom, turning at 3396 RPM. Look how much the swash plate looks, and operates like your model!!
Only 38 were ever built apparently.
When i was about 10 my dad paid for a ride in a jetranger and it scared the hell out of me, but since them i have been hooked. God bless RC heli's, and thank god i got into this hobby!!!!
A very overworked
