lelebebbel Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 it surprises me that no real pictures of the R66 prototype have leaked out yet. We saw it at the factory course (from a distance) in late August. It looked like a 44 to me, only a bit taller, unpainted and with lots of cables hanging out the engine compartment.Apparently they were flying it, too, hovering at least, didn't see that personally though.

ArmamentDawg Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I just got back from the safety course. Frank said the mast would be 8 inches higher than the 44 and the overall dimensions would be something like 7 inches wider and 11 inches longer. There'll be room for three in the back, the middle passanger sitting a few inches higher and a few inches foreward of the other two (for shoulder room). It's also supposed to have a cargo hold with room for three sets of golf clubs. Frank said they tried to come up with a diesel for it, but the technology's just not available. If there's ever a light enough diesel, he plans to produce a diesel and turbine version of the 66. He also said it was many years from production. Tom was a bit more forthcoming, and said Frank just doesn't want people to stop buying 44's, suggesting that it may be closer than we think. I heard a turbine running, but it was behind a screened off portion of the ramp, so I didn't get a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
