USCG S-62

The HH-52A is sort of a hybrid of the H-19 Chocktaw and SH-3 Seaking but it will require a huge amount of scratchbuilding. It is one of my someday I'll have enough time, information and skill to do it builds.

The main and tail rotors came from the H-19, the fuselage is sort of a smaller single engine Seaking.

Schiffer has a good book on the HH-52A, it also has some info on the other versions of the S-62. The book has a ton of info on the helicopter and is not very expensive, lots of photos but unfortunately no highly detailed engineering diagrams.

 I found this single fact page in my Aircraft magazine collection .

Gentlemen , this has been a truly international event . A German asks for info from a Brit at a Dutch event and Americans and an Australian chip in to help . The marvels of the web !!

I have forwarded your responses to the guy who spoke to me .Many thanks for your help.

I have the templates I created for the various frames for the fuselage and sponsons. PM me and I will give contact details so that I can pass on any information required.
