Can your helicopter lift 6000 lbs

Hi Jason,
good to hear from you!

We just completed our full military demonstration highlighting the capabilities of the optionally manned, Unmanned Kmax. I have logged over 50 hours of flight time, mostly landing, taking off, picking up loads, and dropping loads.
The system and the aircraft are awesome!

What are you up too?

101 VS Kmax

I'm all too familiar with the 101. The operating costs of the Kmax is 80% less to operate then the EH101, and the lift to weight ration is greater then 1:1. The 101 can not lift more then it's own weight, the Kmax can!

If your working at Westland, tell Martin the "Mass Properties Engineer" I said hi.

Gigantic servos, actually actuators....Jet A for fuel.

If your serious, I can give you your RC Helo Turbine waivor. I'm on the AMA Turbine waiver list of instructors.

I would LOVE to have a turbine waiver...but probably should get a turbine first.

...

I can't afford a gallon of fuel right now..jet or not.

It's OK....It's not your fault !!!

I guess I should start with the typical questions........

How far does it go?

How high can it fly?

Is it hard to fly?

How much does it cost?

Can I fly it?

Get a life? How the hell do you fly a life?

Now thats an R/C heli. That sure would be a way to think your 90 is cheap in a crash

Its not a maneuver until your looking down on it. ~Jason Krause~ Phoenix FF 08

Right

Funny BUT Seems to me that an unmaned that size would be controlled from a control room not a hand held transmitter.
