A very utilitarian Republic Seabee?

Smaller than a SeaBee, it first flew in 1944, and was powered by a 85-hp Pobjoy radial.

I have to ask the question - A helicopter [smooth plywood design!] flown only using a stick and throttle - why are there not thousands of successors flying today?
85 hp 100 mph - pretty good figures if true.

A very good challenge Evansb. Certainly a pretty looking helicopter, and not one I had ever heard of. Stange thatthe Americans used a Pobjoy given all the small radials the had over there. My initial thought when I saw the cockpit picture was that it might be the one from Cessna. Then I found that had more glazing low down.

See how you get on with this:

Yugoslavian?

Mechta 4th Jan 2010 16:53

No, not Yugoslavian. Much closer to home. Well, manufacture at least.

Sycamore, Spot on :ok: How did you manage that?

G-AOTF is an ex-crop sprayer, hence the single seat and faired-over front cockpit. Now an RAFGSA glider tug at Odiham. Oomph is provided by a 180hp Lycoming. It was a nice day on Saturday! Above the fin is our club's Bessonneau Hangar, soon to go to New Zealand.
