The project was scrapped when the pilot discovered where they proposed to fit the tail rotor.

Clarification required

G'day Coconutty. Thanks for nominating me as the winner. Just a bit bemused by the "over to you" comment. Am I supposed to provide the next picture for captions? If so, having been involved in crash investigation, most of my photos are of the sad end of helicopter flight. If required, I'll plagurise a photo from elsewhere.

Regards

blakmax

PS Even I'd be worried about how they would fit that tail rotor! I could possibly manage the mount and the gearbox, but the drive shaft?? No way!

Bell's attempts at an amphibious helicopter had some design flaws that needed to be worked out.

"What did I tell the boss?" "No problem....told him we would be late because the engine would not start and we were arguing about whether it was wet wiring or water in the fuel that was causing the problem!"
