                        The first ram jet helicopter flew today in 1948!
                        McDonnel design.

                        Don,

                        Would that be the YH-32/HOE-1?  Neat little bird.

                        Your right grandadjohn:  Aurora did make a Hiller Hornet kit back around 1955 or 56.  There is also a 1/72 resin kit made but I can't remember ther manufacturer.  If you want to see the real mcoy, the museum of flight in Seattle has one on display.

                        I did a study of this concept many years ago as a young engineer.  As  I recall, the little Hiller was described as "an excellent source of heat and noise, and little else"  Tip jets were famous for being very fuel-inefficient.

                        John,

                        Will be this evening.  I'm actually staying with Grant overnight and will be hitting the road later on Friday.  I have to report in on Sunday.

                        Arrived safely at Mother Rucker.  Will be hitting the museum tomorrow morning (after a nice 4 miler) and I intend to take as many pics of the AV-05 Apache prototype and the AH-56 as my camera and laptop will allow.  After that, I might look at another helicopter or two!
