Russian inventiveness
 

Check out this new helicopter.. the Maslov Rumas Guppy A 245

looks like something completely new in its class..

They expect to certify the model before the end of 2012.

So is it flying?

The website doesn't seem to have been touched in 2 years.

Can't wait to be the first to hitch a long line to that "flying wagon" & give it a go. On second thoughts, I'll go last.

Has any company tried this before? A smaller version of the successful (based on longevity) Boeing models seems like a great plan. I hope it works out for them.

a nice smooth website if nothing else !
