Coaxial Rotor Helicopters

Is there anywhere a gasoline powered coaxial rotor rc helicopter can
be bought?

Google "Woody Norris" ....he also manufactures RC coaxial helicopters.

I think Bergen offers one.. I don't recall the URL for their site,
but search for Bergen RC Helicopters and you'll find the site.

Bergens web site is www.bergenrc.com and no, they don't produce a co-axial
design.

Their basic Intrepid helicopter is a standard 60 to 90 size bird, mechanical
CCPM controls, that's been around for a bunch of years now. It's a very
nice building and flying machine that's hell for stout and will last close
to forever if you don't crash it.

They also offer more machines that are designed around aerial photography
than just about anyone else out there that I know of and they've got a
turbine powered version that I recently got to test fly and it's "very"
impressive. It's the first turbine I've been around that has no direct
mechanical link between the engine and the rotor drive systems. It works
"way" better than I would have expected.

Check em out, they're good people!

Fly Safe,
Steve R.

I *KNOW* I've seen a co-ax gasser online.. Thought it might have been
Bergen's ship 'cuz I've been eyeballing a big ol' gasser for myself...

I know it was a ship that had to do with AP... I'll have to poke
around my bookmarks to find it again...

I have no doubt that you have, Kevin, and it might have even had some Bergen
parts on it but it wasn't a Bergen design. I've known Larry Bergen
personally for many years now, was even a field rep for him for a few years.
He's been kind enough to put me up in his home on a few occations when I was
visiting the area and he's never made any mention of a co-ax design.

FWIW! :-)

Fly Safe,
Steve R.

Now I'm getting annoyed with this.. I spent the greater part of last
night going back through my bookmarks hunting for the gasser coax I
saw.. It definitely wasn't the airscooter, but I'll be damned if I
can find the thing again...

I know I'm going to sit bolt upright in bed in the wee hours and know
exactly where to go find the thing... :)

Understood! If you do find it, please post the link. I'd like to see it
too. The airscooter looks interesting. It also looks like it would be even
harder to stay oriented to in forward flight than a conventional design but
it's still an interesting concept.
