We recently added Alterbaum helicopters. These machines are large and all run on Jakadofsky turbine engines! This is their giant EC-145 which has a 3.4 meter rotor span. 😳😳

One of Eurocopter's latest models is the X3, which features forward thrust propellers. Alterbaum has reproduced the X3 in a 2.5 meter model that is sure to stand out everywhere. It runs on a Jakadofsky Pro 6000 (main rotor) and a 3.6 kw Plettenberg HP 430 V63 electric motor for the propellers. It requires 14s lipos so the bird weighs in at 35 kg / 77 lbs.

To fly this beast in the US, you'll need to get one of the 5 Large Model Helicopter inspectors to sign off on it!
Alterbaum makes a Bell 429 that is slightly larger than the Vario Bell 429. Both run on a Jakadofsky Pro 5000 (but both could do better with the 6000 in my view). I have had the Vario model and have seen the Alterbaum model. With a 2.5 meter rotor span and an all-up weight of 54 lbs, you can fly this anywhere in the U.S. without a LMH waiver.

Here is the Alterbaum Bell 205 UH 1D. With a 2.7 m rotor diameter and running on a Jakadofsky Pro 6000, this bad boy will cut the sky with an amazing presence!
