cap Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Ahhhh, but does anyone know where the first helicopter was designed and built in Canada and what year it first flew? Hint: anyone thinking post-WW2 is not thinking back far enough. Mr. Larry BELL took the drawings for it AND the prototype and stored them in garage in upper NY State for some years while he focused on his F/W endeavours.

twinstar_ca Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 about 65kms southwest of the 'peg in the 1930's in homewood(?), man... the 3 froebe brothers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cap Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Pretty sharp there my man. Make that 1935 for the first flight. All the rest is exactly correct sir. So next time you crawl into your Bell product, you remember what some Canadian farm boys did to help Larry Bell on his way. :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
