This is the first working model of a Kaman K-Max I've seen, and what a beauty!😉 In real life, these are probably one of the easier rotary wing aircraft to fly, and this one looks extremely stable in the air. Considering how much they can lift in real life, I'd be interested to see what this one could pick up. I still see these once in a while when there are wildfires in the area. They use them to do water 'drops' for pinpoint fire control. Nice build and great flight!😁👍
I've heard that Kaman helicopters were used to train helicopter pilots but that they were so easy to fly that they didn't help to teach how to fly a conventional helicopter so the US marines used the more difficult conventional machines instead
@@helimx I used to hang out at the local airport (sort of a one horse affair in our small town), and have actually talked to the pilot that flew the one they were using here, and he had been flying this same machine for 12 years or so. He was very comfortable with it, and said it could do maneuvers that no single rotor chopper was capable of. He generally was commissioned to run a 500 gallon water bag between one of our local ponds and the fire (about 4000 lbs. when full). He indicated they would lift over 6000 lb. total, which is actually more than the aircraft weighs.😮
@@danw1955 that is definitely accurate, but to say it's one of the easiest helicopters to fly is not. I'm literally standing 20 feet away from the kmax that I maintain for a living.
Would LOVE to see the mechanics on that thing. Also the RC systems and how they're setup. Does someone out there make a flight control system for this configuration of a twin counterrotating rotors? I know Bavarian makes one for Vario's Chinook.
Vernon Atease Simple: They are offset by 90 degrees and linked by gears. Then they rotate in opposite directions. There is no way that they can touch each other.
einfach super aufgebaut ,würde gern wissen wie das mit den rotorgetriebe gelaufen ist,selbstbau sicher ich würde flendern fl 282 kolibri aufbauen im massstab 1:10 rumpf länge so um 62cm
Hello good evening thank you for being beautiful thank you for being wonderful I hope you have a great day the greatness in you is beautiful good night
As helicopters go this has, got to be, one of the most UGLIEST!!! I have ever seen. But, as RC MODELS go it flies EXTREMELY WELL & SMOOTH!!! The, person who built this, on one, hand WTF am I doing building this, peticular model & the, other I don't think anyone else has ever attempted to build, one & the, flying skills, is, AWESOME!!! VERY WELL DONE!!! 👍 almost LIFE-LIKE. 🤨😉
The Kaman helicopters, even back to the early Kaman Huskies, were designed more for utility than aesthetics. They were among the easiest helicopters to fly, and Kaman would often have his mother fly one, to demonstrate this. For a time, a Kaman Husky held the record for fastest climb rate in a helicopter, and their lifting ability made them very popular helis for military combat rescue missions. Modern Kamans are designed and used for heavy lifting, in operations such as logging and construction. They may be ugly, but they are pretty darned good copters.
Q. E. D. As a person that assembles and restores Kaman helicopters, I can tell you that you’re nearly spot on. The rotors and the rotorhead are rather simple compared to a normal helicopter. The rotor deflection is controlled by servo-flaps on the trailing edge of each blade. Think of these as model aircraft elevators. Instead of directly controlling the entire blade which is mechanically difficult, the servo-flaps drive the entire rotor blades in the desired direction. A lot less force is exerted and you’ve gained the mechanical advantage. Charlie Kaman was a brilliant man and all around wonderful fellow. He is dearly missed.
I've always thought of a design like this, with more blades though. Then I realized that this is crazy dangerous and a strong enough wind or turn flexing the blades could send you into mother nature's sweet embrace, 7000 feet below.
All nice mechanics wise, but the bird only resembles a k-max. It’s not a scale k-max 1200 at all. The shape is way off... like building it from memory... never looking at an actual photo.
Patrick LastName The real one looks a bit better, the proportions here are not very accurate unfortunately. But lots of people think the K-MAX is ugly :)
That thing is awesome! Very well built too. I didn’t see anything shake when he was ramping up the engine to get the rotors spinning at all.
Mobil
Knaller😍😍😍😍😍
Danke Stephan :)
I have time in the K-Max. Its a great lifting bird. This little model is pretty awesome in itself. Hats off to the builder and flyer of this RC.
Nice left...no emmor effect...or nice balance...lovely concept..
👍👍👍
Thank you
@@RCHeliJet thank to u...for presenting this idea for us...
Fantastic ship....well done.

Are you a kmax pilot? Because I'm a kmax mechanic and every pilot I've talked to would disagree with your statement
I've heard that Kaman helicopters were used to train helicopter pilots but that they were so easy to fly that they didn't help to teach how to fly a conventional helicopter so the US marines used the more difficult conventional machines instead
@@caliburncymro7988 well you heard wrong. The kmax is a single seat helicopter. They're not throwing new trainees in a single seat helicopter.....

Amazing build. Recently watched a full size K-Max doing logging work - incredible machine.
Great flight.
Turbine und Flettner, super Sache das Ding!
Very impressive. Both in stable flight and pilot operations
Brilliant

Craziest looking helicopter I've seen in a while.
Incredible
It certainly wont win any beauty contest, but what an interesting and beautifully made machine.
Superb turbine model, superb copter ever build.
wow seeing those rotors not hit each other haha dang
man clean looking bird
Awesome
Unbelievable! Great machine!
Weltklasse Heli! 👍🏻 Was isch das für en Alass z Seewen gsi? Hätt i das gwüsst wär i go luege.
Pretty helicopter. Beautiful lake too. Good catch on both.
Very cool
everytime I see this type of chopper , I'm inclined to fly one but a smaller version..really stable and cool lookin...
Spezieller Helicopter, sieht gut aus in der wundervollen Gegend! Daumen rauf!
I was watching a video on the full scale prototypes of these & they were remotely flown also. So this is as badass as the full size version.
Absolutely fantastic
It looks like it should shake itself apart, amazing!
Yeah coaxial rotors 👍❤️
I think I understand the how, it's just the why that has got me stumped. Maybe just because you can, you should.
Great build and flight, Awesome !!
Enjoyed every second of this. Thank you.
Thats so awesome!
Der schönste schräg aussehende Heli den es gibt.
Tolle Aufnahme. Weiter so. Danke für die Videos
Beautiful
Beautiful country!! Awesome RC also!!
F.A.B. Mr Tracey..!
Thunderbitd 6 is on the way..!
well designed buddy.....Kudos
Interesting rotor blades...still kinda confused how they avoid each other 🤔🤔🤔

Amazing beautiful helicopter ..i love that sound ..clever pilot

i've been thinking "huh not much counter rotating rc stuff" lately bu now we're talking
Fehlt nur noch die Steuerung der Rotorblätter wie beim Original 👍
Using the name "Flettner" in the description would be akin to using the name "Wright" with any prop driven airplane.
Amazing.........
Very nice just like the real one, nice flying too 👍👍😅😅
Excelent
Spectacular .
👏👏👏👏👏😷
Omg so beautiful
Krasser Hubi!
Danke Tobi, bleib Gesund.
Super like 🤩
So nice
it landed so Sweet and settled down like creme...
This is a best model helicopter I've ever seen ♡
Einfach ,klasse . war das jetzt am Wochende ???
Hello good evening thank you for being beautiful thank you for being wonderful I hope you have a great day the greatness in you is beautiful good night
Certo che nell'aeromodellismo si è raggiunto un livello di perfezione esagerato!
Mi sapete indicare il video di qualche modello bi turboprop aircraft?

Why does it have two rotors crossing each other? What's the science behind it?
Hä, super! Das mit dem Kinderlied (Kurbel) ha ich total vergässä gha...
I have never understood why Kaman “eggbeaters” don’t rule the rotary world. Just never approach from the side.
Maybe due to 2 x parts to operate ?
Mark E. Jines
But there’s no tail rotor required and they develop more lift for the power. Plus, I’m pretty sure the rotors are not as complex.

A lot less dangerous than co-axial rotors.
@@Snobiker13 vs coaxial, I doubt it.
A flettner rotor is a spinning cylinder that creates lift by the magnus effect. Where is it?
Michael Crumpton Anton Flettner also came up with the concept of the synchropter, or intermeshing rotors.
0:25 pilot got excited
At the start, Why the music box???
Interessanter Heli👍
He Martin schön hoffe euch geht es gut Danke Dir und bleib Gesund.
Christ on a bike... You don't want the head timing to be out do you! Great model
RBTech The rotors are hard-linked by gears.
Just looked up flettner rotors and they appear to be based on magnus effect, so cylindrical drums. These are just intermeshing rotors?
Yep
First successful intermeshing rotor helicopter was designed by Flettner and saw service in WW2
@@caliburncymro7988 that's fine by it's not accurate to call these "Flettner rotors" as they're not.
터보에 쌍프롭 ㄷㄷㄷ 양덕들
Where were the piroflips?
Warum flieg nur uber wasser?
Where are the flaperons?
Attach a dynamometer to it and see how much you can lift
lol fly it over water because its easier to salvage after crash
😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍
what happens when one motor fail ?
Two rotors, one engine, a jet!
What happens when things goes wrong...
All nice mechanics wise, but the bird only resembles a k-max. It’s not a scale k-max 1200 at all. The shape is way off... like building it from memory... never looking at an actual photo.
His flettner flap is out of adjustment.
First. Ever
looks home made,not sure,,,
Ugliest chopper I have ever seen. Love the music box though, no one else in RC world ever thaught of that.
Patrick LastName The real one looks a bit better, the proportions here are not very accurate unfortunately. But lots of people think the K-MAX is ugly :)
even if its ugly you can't deny how capable it is.
プロペラ当たらんのがスゴ=3
Schön und gut, aber was hat das Ganze mit "Flettner" zu tun, rein gar nichts. Schau mal bei "Wiki" unter "Flettner", was da kommt.👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Practically I guess it is not a good idea to make such a helicopter one single synchronous default everything to hell
Amazing! But talk about the ugliest helo ever!😂
endwood Looks quite a bit worse than the original IMHO.
