Joe's Collection - Kalt  Joe William Richardson

Kalt Cobra 500

E-bay purchase Sep 10 - awaiting investigation of condition.

Kalt 20 Baron (FP)

Original version 20 Baron with fixed pitch head - full rebuild required.

Kalt 20 Baron

Rebuild required.

Kalt 20 Baron MX

Rebuild required.

Kalt Whisper

   

Bought in Nov 09 from the same guy who sold me the Kalt 60EX.  Futaba GY401 fitted and test flown; surprisingly powerful pitch control though running with a modern Li-po battery.  Tested with a 9.6volt Nimh pack but head speed now low and like the ECO-8 is only just good enough as a trainer.  Interesting that historic test reviews say it had quite good performance. Late 2010 bought another complete Whisper with all gear but has not run for a long time so needs a full strip and check.

Kalt 30 baron  (1999)

   

Purchased in Jan 09 as a near complete build of a ten year old kit.  Has period radio gear and gyro so checked over and build completed.

Kalt 30 Baron (x2)

Rebuild required.

Kalt 30 Baron S (4S)

Rebuild required.

Kalt 30 Baron E

Rebuild required.

Kalt Space Baron

Bought 09 and requires service check prior to testing.

Kalt 50 Baron

Looks possibly new and not run and has the 'flat plate' head.

Kalt Cyclone (50)

Bought 08 and in Mar-09 given a full rebuild with a new period 46 engine and modifications carried out to remove the 'slack' in the collective system.  Radio gear is 'period' except for the collective servo which is a modern BB type.  Engine test run but requires more running to get easier starting.

Kalt Cyclone (60)

   

Bought in Jan 08 and was a standard cyclone fitted with a sixty and five servo system.  Requires stripping down for full service etc.

Kalt JetRanger (cyclone mechanics)

Needs a full check to confirm if it is complete and it has been converted for belt tail drive.

Kalt 60 Baron Ex

Complete helicopter requiring general check plus new Kit.

Kalt Bell 222 (50 Baron Mechanics)

Partially started Bell 222 fuselage with new mechanics.

Kalt GS Baron 

   

Bought Nov 08 complete with radio gear and awaiting a full check.

Kalt GS Baron Alpha

   

Bought in Feb 08 and came with modernised electronic ignition plus modern high power servo's etc. Test run but engine only produced enough power to slowly climb out of ground effect.  So engine fully serviced.

Attempted to start the engine in Feb 09 but the carb kept flooding so stripped it again and bits found under the fuel needle which would explain the flooding.  Rebuilt and awaiting testing (again).
