What is up with the double posting, castelnuovo? I thought is was supposed to be one at a time. Are you in a hurry?

No hurry.

 If you look at the times, there are quite a few hours between my posts, and if I do post two pix in a row it is only twice a day and not every day. So no rush.

I take a break in my studies/work but don't have time to go for a long run. So I put up a post. Few hours later I take a break in studies or work and post one more. It doesn't have to be one at a time, its not that I am posting a whole bunch of them in a short time period.

If you feel like posting more then one, sure, why not? Maybe not 5 or 10 in a row but 2? With few hours in between? Sure...

You've got that right, roony. When I found those photos, I did a side search for models of it but no luck.

It would seem to be a fairly do-able scratchbuild as many components were off the shelf from other aircraft.

The XH-17 was a heavy-lift rotorcraft that was designed to lift loads in excess of 15 metric tons. To speed construction, parts of the XH-17 were scavenged from other aircraft. The front wheels came from a B-25 Mitchell and the rear wheels from a C-54 Skymaster. The fuel tank was a bomb bay-mounted unit from a B-29 Superfortress. The cockpit was from a Waco CG-15 and the tail rotor from a Sikorsky H-19 was used for yaw control.

I wonder if a model of the XH-17 (1840) has ever been tried.  A small fortune in rod styrene needed.
