Wish you'd left that last challenge up I was going towards an early Hughes 500. Anyway, to get this thread back to the top have a look at this one:

Sorry Kitbag. It slunk to the bottom and then over to page 2 without a nibble of interest, so I pretended it never happened. Sometimes it's hard to assess the degree of interest in these sorts of threads. I will put if back when the situation allows.

Cheers mate.

Not sure if eckhard is returning, so in the meantime...



Not a Hughes kitbag, but it is a helicopter.

Smoke generator!

I'm sure you meant Bell?

It is indeed the Bell UH-1H in the "smoker" mission. Your control.

The engine looks like a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 so possibly the aircraft is a Pilatus PC-9.

Good morning Mel.
Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6
I believe so mate. Physically, the challenge machine is much bigger than the PC-9. Normally powered by a piston engine there were models powered by a turboprop.

From your statement

I take it we are looking at a single engined aircraft. Howabout the DHC2 Beaver conversion?

Yes Mel, it is a single engine aircraft, Canadian and from De Havilland, but not the Beaver....
