Helicopter inbound?

I guess I would say you need to spend a few minutes reading this forum about the new R-22.

Regards,

Yes, there was news about it already but the article that aarneson linked to is worth the read! Didn't hear anything about that yet (how realistic it apparently is).

The link has been here for a week or so.

The original Helisimmer interview with Torsten Hans was nearly two years ago. I can't believe it was so long ago but I've been eagerly awaiting this news ever since then. AFS2+helicopters=whole new level of fun Great news that the R22 is so far along.

aarneson: This all has already been discussed in this thread:

Helicopter implementation being planned at all?

Sorry that I missed the original thread on this, my bad... But might I add that my thread will probably call as much if not more attention to the fact that a new aircraft is on the horizon than the obscure references buried in a now 3-screen thread started in early March. Ray, all I want to do is celebrate what IPACS is up to.

I'm sure the R22 will be just the start, once they work out the physics of rotor flight for full size craft rather than RC size there will be much more to come. If the R22 has been 2+ years in development (probably more if you count all the work in ipacs other titles) I'm sure it won't be another 2 years until the R44, or whatever comes next. As you say, it's nice to celebrate what's happening and try to encourage the team.
