Bell 206B info requested

[brett s]

Working on a Bell 206B model for a flight sim (X-Plane), the following info would be very helpful:


Approximate total weight of a main rotor blade, plus amount & location of any tip weight - or even better, the polar moment of inertia for the main rotor.
Approximate main rotor collective pitch range
Tail rotor pitch limitsThanks in advance!

Hi Brett
206 Blade weight depends on part number - for the 010-200 series its 42.16 - 43.07kg (or 42.16 - 43.67kg if an STC leading edge strip is fitted). For the 015-001 series blade the weight is 43.39 - 44.29kg (top limit 44.9kg with STC strip)
There is a 600gram weight fitted at the tip with the STC strip otherwise the weights in the pockets are set to adjust the balance moments.
PM me if you need any further info
