New models from Bell.
I read in some publications about that Bell must be working on a replace for the
206 discarding the two blade rotor, but are speculations. Also some people speculates about an Updated 430, as EC made with the BK117, with a new composite body, new engines and a new quiet tail rotor. And more, a quiet tail rotor (as the apache's) kit, to be installed on the 407/427 models, will be offered. Who knows more? w/o Speculations. -- Goku Rules .... |

The 210 isn't a really new model, only is a mere rebuild of olds huey using some
components of the 212. -- Goku Rules .... "Bob M" escribió en el mensaje om... | Bell is developing a new aircraft designated as the 210.

Just got in from the Bell factory 206 Pilot course, good sources indicate
that the 427 will be getting a fenestron type tail, elastomeric main rotor, enlarged cabin to better suite EMS work, and a new transmission called the 'pancake' transmission which has only a 'bull' gear and a bevel gear ie. no sun/planetary type setup. Target price (if achieved) is under 2 million! By the way What a Fine Course!!! Bell Factory School is. I encourage all to go at some point to see the experts do it -- and to learn a few pointers along the way such as how to survive almost anything short of a main rotor departure. Cannot imagine a more forgiving ship than the 206. Gaylon |

The MD500 has many virtues -- fast, economical, maneuverable, etc. -- but
it's not especially forgiving of mistakes, and especially not in situations requiring an autorotation. "Shaber CJ" wrote in message ... From: "gaylon9" Date: 3/19/2004 3:19 PM Pacific . Cannot imagine a more forgiving ship than the 206. Gaylon MD 500 |

But if you crash, there is no better ship then a 500.

... But if you crash, there is no better ship then a 500. This is a popular legend, based partly on the A-frame behind the pilot and partly on the ability of the rounded fuselage to roll down a hill after the skids and rotor system get knocked off, but the key factor is the risk of serious injury, and the RSI in the 206 is about half that of the 500. This is in large part, of course, because the 206 is less likely to hit the ground hard enough to kill the occupants. |

I think the gravitational constant is the same for the 206 as for the 500, 32.2 ft/s/s. There has never been a case of the transmission coming into the cockpit of the 500. If I am going to crash please God make it a 500 I am in. |
