Puddle Jumper Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Maybe a turbine Robby would be a good thing. Afterall it could scan for hot spots for the OMNR and maybe just maybe......now this is a strech.....lowtime guys would be considered for the job. Ok time to get back to reality.

412driver Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 is it just me or does that picture look like that old 47...what was it....a J model?? seriously, a friend just picked up a new 44 and said frank has a 500 sitting on the ramp that the engineers are pouring over. so i think this 66 idea is close......

jetbox Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 When we were on the R44 course in California, the boys made it very clear that there would never be a turbine powered Robinson helicopter as it would make it cost prohibitive. Besides, it's still the best selling helicopter in the world right now so why bother? Frank thinks like Buffalo Joe: turbine? What turbine?
