Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / September 2006Looking for a helicopter with these options
Hi all, I am looking for a helicopter with the following: 1 - live wireless camera 2 - payload capacity of 2 pounds or more 3 - range/altitude of at least 400 feet 4 - some sort of grappling hook / magnet that would be used to pick up / drop off small items (around 2 pounds). The hook or magnet would have to be able to be controlled via one of the available channels. Any sugesstions? Thanks so much!

Any "50" sized bird would be able to be outfitted as you specify.. You want electric or nitro/gas/turbine power? Not sure if anyone offers anything turn key, but I"m sure I could build something up. How much you willing to spend?? :) >> Hi all, >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Not sure if anyone offers anything turn key, but I"m sure I could > build something up. How much you willing to spend?? :) you could build it but could they fly it? it sounds like the OP is going to need a pilot as well Look for a company called Bergin.com Out of New Jersey,usa They make what you want. >>> Hi all, >>> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > you could build it but could they fly it? it sounds like the OP is going > to need a pilot as well Actually, they're www.bergen-rc.com and they're out of Cassopolis, MI. It's a little place in the southwest corner of Michigan, about 20 to 30 miles northeast of South Bend, In. Look South Bend up on www.mapquest.com and you'll find Cassopolis off of Hwy 60 in the direction I just indicated. They're the only company I know of that offers RC helicopters that are designed around mounting a camera and doing aerial photography. They use gas engine (Zenoah's) and are very strong and reliable. They've got several different versions. Check the web site to take a look and give them a call if you've got questions. I've found them to be very willing to help if they can. As for the grappling hook, that's something you'll have to figure out on your own. Bergen might be able to offer some suggestions along that line but I won't say that as an absolute. Best thing you can do is ask them! Good luck, Steve R. > Look for a company called Bergin.com Out of New Jersey,usa They make what > you want.

No they won't. www.bergenrc.com will tho. :) >>> Hi all, >>> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >you could build it but could they fly it? it sounds like the OP is going >to need a pilot as well That's not my concern, but I could offer my services as pilot as well. :) > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Any sugesstions? Wake up and stop dreaming?  SignatureBeav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 |
