That is cool, but can it autorotate?

Looks great, I would want to see it autorotate before I bought one tho.... a long way down in a short time if you looking at your rotors not turning
 I have never seen a coaxial helicopter more than skid landing height off the ground.... remember the Nolan with two 582 engines?.... I never saw it more than 5' off the ground on the demonstration tape.... if you haven't heard of it, google 'Nolan helicopter'  _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned!

My memory might be missing some details... however I think Gabor posted a video of a Russian (?) coaxial that ran on two radials... and yes it could auto-rotate. Part of a discussion a while back with that same question... 'can a coaxial auto?'. Somewhat different looking bird... however one has to respect any chopper that flies and will auto down if it has an engine issue.

Yes it is a Russian design and it uses a Rotax 912. Autorotates beautifully. It has 20' diameter discs that are counter rotating. The machine uses a lot of the Kamov design elements adding the 21st century technology.

Did you see the Nolan? Had 2 582's driving one drum, so if one stopped, it could continue (but not climb) on the engine that was running.
 Too bad if you run out of gas..... I think it is on youtube too... I have the VHS cassette This is the highest flying picture I have ever seen of it, always 5' or less. Looks like fun tho  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QHfBucsL0Q You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned!

Yes they called it Vertolet when in 1984 they started out but after breaking away from Kamov they renamed it and did a little modifications on the base unit. They are now I think called Ural something.....

Anthony's shop was about 60 miles from where I use to live. here are some pics of the machine. I never saw it fly. and I heard he just bought a second one from the PRA chapter that Tom Milton is in.

No I haven't. I just knew about it. Friend of mine was working with one of the engineers.
