Vintage RC Helicopters - Graupner Bell 222

Graupner Bell 222 (Trainer)

Graupner Bell 222 (1979)

   

Pod and boom 'flybarless' rotor head model model developed from the 212 mechanics and presented at the 1979 Nürnberg show.  Using the same formulae as the Schlüter Bell 222 of 1977 it was available in two forms; first as a full scale model though this time with retracting tricycle undercarriage or as a semi-scale trainer/sports model with light weight semi-scale basic body.

 

Following on from the experience of the PDP engine in the Bell 212 this model was fitted with a 'Round' heat sink head which was smaller in diameter but deeper than the previous version 'rectangular' head.
