Scale Model Helicopter Competition

Engineer Craig Anderson has built a scale model helicopter 1:7.6 (1.5 meters long) scale of HNI Bell 412, powered by a methanol .67 cubic inch motor. The 4 - blade head makes it harder to fly but look very realistic. It has taken Craig almost three years to build and invested quite a bit of time and money into his hobby.

Craig's hard slog has paid off by enabling him to place first in a Scale Model Helicopter Competition in Rotorua on the 23rd & 24th August 2008. Congratulations Craig!! We are proud of you!!
