Milviz MD 530 Beta (WIP)

Wonder if it'll have the correct starting procedure...

Looking Nice Rick, I do like these and nice to see a MILVIZ incoming , I happened to photo a CHCH aircraft a few months back.

Wow...Amazing Shot. THe MD-530 is one of my favourite choppers.

In forty odd years flying, never even rode in a helicopter but that is a great shot.

Hey Rick, since your on beta test team, you may be able to get this scheme onto the model , I'll collect the series off photos of this , tho this is the 500E
No real difference other power rating to the 530.

The blades on the 530 are a ft longer than the E

Love the model but maybe it’s just me and the angle of the photo but the blades and rotor hub seem slightly out of proportion with the fuselage I don’t mean the extra length the 530ff has but the width. There are nice screen shots at hovercontrol

Thanks for HU Nick , they did say better lifting ability, that extra disk space will do the trick I did not bother to check the extra square/meter of the disk, all the books here on the 500-530F series maybe are a little outta date.

It would have to be a super improvement on their earlier little bird of 4/5 years back, one off the nicest small choppers around ... would suit your simpit to bits.
