Nice work! In the States, these are called Skycranes, and I used to see these
when I was a kid in Germany...my dad was in the Army then.

Nice detail work on the rotor especially. And the tail rotor is geared with the
main rotor..nice!

I built an Alpha team 'version'-I say that loosely-of the Skycrane, but had
only 4 blades to your six and it wasn't geared. The great thing, though, was
that I was able to come up with a set of landing gear using Technic axles and
connectors. If you want to strengthen your landing wheels, you might want to
play with Technic axles.

Great job!

(...) Thanks! (...) Hmmmm... it's not really geared - there's just a flex tube running from the main to the tail rotor. Although gearing would have been nice, I think that the resulting bulk around the tail rotor might have been a bit too much. (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
