Multi-purpose helicopter Bell UH1b - The original:

The Bell UH1b Iroquois (Huey) is a light multi-purpose helicopter that was extremely popular and successful in both military and civil use. In 1959 the first machines were manufactured and delivered. The main task was to rescue wounded people, but the Huey later had numerous other tasks. Today the Bell UH1 is a classic helicopter and a real rarity in the sky.

Multi-purpose helicopter Bell UH1b - The model:

The model is an electrified Ornith46 from the Robbe. The electrification was done over the winter of 2012/2013.

The basis of the Bell UH1b:

The installation into the fuselage of the Bell UH1b in 1:12 scale was done over the years 2013/2014. For this purpose, the mechanics of the Ornit have been adapted to the requirements of the hull.

The details of the Bell UH1b:

The fuselage itself has been completely redesigned. The existing paintwork was sanded, and countless rivets, antennas, mirrors, handles and holding rails were attached. The paintwork has been refreshed with the original colors.

In addition, a true-to-size, scale cockpit was implemented. The lighting is also properly installed according to the original.

In addition, the model was equipped with a specially made, true-to-scale main and tail rotor head, manufactured by SK-Rotorkopf from Germany. This special design allows the tail rotor speed to be adjusted independently of the main rotor using a second motor.
A toothed belt or a rigid shaft, as is usually the case with model helicopters, is not required here.

The functions of the Bell UH1b in detail:

– Pitch
– Roll
– Nick
– Main rotor speed
– Tail rotor speed
– Tail rotor right/left
– Position lighting on/off
– Landing light on/off
