Re: The Ugly aircraft topic

Looking good will not turn into victory. :mrgreen: Its better to be an ugly winner than a good...

Re: Heb ik Hans Anders nodig of ?

Ik denk dat die fotograaf héél vlak naast je heeft gestaan en die foto op exact het zelfde moment heeft gemaakt. En daarna om het niet helemaal op te laten vallen hem 1 stapje heeft onderbelicht in photoshop. :drinking: Kortom goed jatwerk of super toeval. Het had wel netjes geweest ook je copyright...

Re: First flight EC175

Re: First flight EC175

Well A Legal Alien,

Thanks for your explanation, but why is it that if this helicopter is primairily intended to be used offshore etc. those covers have not been placed yet, because EC-225 has these covers also and these covers hold the flotation devices or liferafts as well.

Re: First flight EC175

Sorry to hear you think it has "some design flaws." Let me know what your concerns are and I'll see if I can put you at ease.[/quote] Well the main gear in retracted position could be more tucked away in any kind of aerodynamic cover or is it intended to be like the main gear of the A-10 T...

Maakt mij niet uit wie. Humor met hoofdletters wat mij betreft. Beide zullen een aanwinst zijn voor de F1. Net als Michael Schumacher. :rofl: :clown:

Re: First flight EC175

It looks like a child with hydrocephalus. ( in dutch: kind met een waterhoofd.) Too small airframe to fit the engines + transmission, but hey if if flies better than it looks who cares other than the local hairdresser of a certain type.
