helimat Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 Looks nice! A great idea.... I guess some of the cost can be recovered when the Twin Pac is sold... But what is the cost compared to a fresh 205++??? :clue: Quote
helipinch Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 What is the engine??? I'm not a medium guy (YET) but it kinda looks like a T 53 to me????? Quote
Rifleman Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 As I understand it, the engine is T53-17B. Performance wise I'm sure it will out do the 205A-1++ quite handily because being a 212 (albiet with one stove) it should retain it's 11200 internal / 11500 external load capabilities. I think Eagle could have just called it a 205B........ oh wait! that name's already taken. The 212S will be a winner - much more attractive in my mind, than the Bell 210 (which I have seen up close and personal). Well done Eagle guys! Quote

Maybe being picky but the 212 GW is 11200 lbs internal/external The 212S will however be a real stump puller, I also heard it will retain the GW of the 212 Quote
Stab Bar Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Actually it's 10500 internal 11200 external, and our 205B does out perform the 205A1++.....but according to the pilots not by that much( does cruise faster though) and our B has a strake kit the A1 does not which could be the performance difference. just my 2 cents worth Quote
