Vintage RC Helicopters - Kalt Hang-on Bodies

KALT Hang-on Bodies

Kalt produced a range of Scale and Sport helicopter 'hang on' bodies as they were generally called at the time.

Kalt JetRanger

1981 catalogue Applicability - 50 Baron - 60 Baron

Kalt already had a model of the JetRanger with its own dedicated mechanics however, it was also decided to bring this model out as the first of Kalt's scale 'hang-on' bodies. The internal layout was redesigned specifically to take the 50 Baron mechanics with either the standard 50 size engine or a larger 60 size for more 'sporty' performance.

	Length (less rotor) - 54 inch
	Main Rotor diameter - 58 inch
	Rotor Head - Any Kalt CP version
	Weight - 9.5 to 10.5 Lbs
	Engine - .50/.60 cu in (8.0/10 cc)
	Reductions - 9.56 : 1 : 4.5
	Radio - Four/five channel with five servo's

Kalt Bell 222

Applicability - 50 Baron and 60 Baron - Omega Pro/Grand Prix - 60 Baron Alpha

Kalt Bell 222 - Construction review 1986 from RC Helicopters

Kalt Airwolf

Applicability - Cyclone

A variation of the standard Bell 222 fuselage. No current specific guide but the general one for the Kalt Bell 222 will suffice.

Kalt Bell 400 TwinRanger

Applicability - 50 Baron S/EC - 60 Baron S/EC - 60 Baron Alpha/EX (conversion required).

The TwinRanger (full size) was supposed to replace the JetRanger but never did; shame really as it is a very nice and unique looking helicopter (50-60 size mechanics).

Modified Ω 20 body???

Kalt 'Whisper' Huey Cobra (1992)

1992 catalogue

The Whisper proved successful and because of its good performance it was well able to take the addition of a scale 'hang on' fuselage.

Slough Models Airframes

Slough Models in the late eighties were heavily involved in Kalt helicopters and even produced their own range of 'hang on' fuselages covering quite a few popular full size helicopters.
