OH-6A with a big tailrotor?

Does this OH-6A have a D-Model tail-rotor fitted? It looks a little bigger in span than the regular tail-rotor currently fitted to the OH-6A and 500C.

Six blade head; Good or Bad?

I'm doing a bit of research into the whole H-6/H500 family of helicopters and I have a few questions about the latest version, the H-6M and the AH-6X/i series. These helicopters have a six blade main...

H369A v OH-6A.

5-bladed OH-6A and cold weather mods for 500.
