TBT Jan 2020 and i went to Heli Expo in Anaheim, there was a white 505 demonstrator with an E/O Pod which I saw day or so later after show finished when I went to visit Van Nuys (my pic below) https://scontent-lcy1-2.xx.fbcdn.net...Vw&oe=64C29386 cheers |
I finally saw a 505 in person a year or so ago doing scenic flights at the 12 Apostles, Australia. I guess the weird short skids and rat-nose isn't so bad after all.

the engine cowling with venting grills handed out like poker cards the tail weights exposed and attached with weird cable loops the collective stick stolen from the R44 The Sicma Seat really stick out like a gem in there |

"Rat nose" BWAAAHAHAH. You got that right, Tickle! How did Bell come up with that monstrosity? I guess all of those old 206 designers must have either retired or died.

I think you are going too far. Not all people choose on looks alone.

On the looks alone, I'd rather have another 206B than a 505. However, removing the broom closet was quite a feat. |
Anyone have a problem with the 505 tail rotor control cable pulley? Mine has just cr@ped out on me. Any advice appreciated.
