SwingWing Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 6 hours ago, Bell-powered said: All great responses. Nice and clean. I think also worth mention that the external load limit is referring to a load that does not put more weight on the skids. As an example the Bell 407 has a internal limit of 5250 (suck it b3) but an external of 6000. The limiting factor is the skid gear. The powertrain and engine can do 6000 but if you are going down the skid gear wont save your back. as you would be falling faster than a manhole cover.. Oh the 5250 debate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
