Is the NH90 the ugliest heli you have seen, In my view it is a flying cargo container.............

Sandy said it best when I talked with him: Flying Milk Carton.

I've ordered one so I can't dis it too much although I'm not really in love with it. The main thing I liked about it is that you can get the custom exhausts that go with it. I didn't really want to spend a lot of time finding someone to make some custom ones for different helis.

yeah, anyway.......................................

its like a milk truck ran into a ferrari...

with the gear up, its actually pretty cool looking in flight... I love mine now, my big firebreathing german beer maiden.

In actuallity, it is a flying cargo container.. 25+ troops fit in that thing with equipment! take a look a fullsize next time and note how big the pilot really is in comparison. over 600 on order for Nato forces... they will fill the skies shortly all across europe.(not sure how many different schemes will be done though).

I personally think it looks like a flying trailer home, a school bus, or a barn .....

I own one and this means i can dis it all i want ... I thinki this is the ugliest thing that has ever flown, besides the hobico Avistar ...

I intend on giving this helicopter a finish it deserver, and make it look like its really supposed to (more ugly !!! ) pics coming soon

... I do also like the fact that i dont have to make a custom pipe for it , im done with pipes for a while after my 230, and i just gave in and ordered a pipe for mt ec-135. I got a great deal on the pipe for only $200, and found out that its actually Jetcat that makes the pipe for Graupner ...

The Graupner dealers have the NH90s in stock in the UK, and for really awesome prices, (even if you factor in the shipping tothe US)

hey Alan, i htink the NH90 is so ugly, that when im bored with it, maybe we can take out the paintball gun out again for some target proactice

lol, geeee, i wonder who voted for "A Precision Flying Instrument"

yup, bob offered me that pipe too... give away... actually its a subcontractor that makes them for jet-cat, graupner, scalecopter,scalejet and so on...

lets see how ugly you make it!

actually I would pay money to see a 6 k heli blown out of the sky with paint balls... as long as its not mine.

Pics of the Sikorsky S-76 coming this weekend... that will be a bit sleeker to look at.(bodies are ready).

how much did you pay for your ec-135 pipe?
is it a tam unit? he makes nice stuff...
