Hmmm...
Where to start today?
I did not know that an around the world speed record was set:
"On Monday 18th August pilots Scott Kasprowicz and Steve Sheik succeeded in flying around the world in a helicopter in only 11 days 7 hours and 2 minutes - setting a new world speed record. The pilots broke the current record by almost 6 days with an average speed of 74 knots over the entire 11 days including stops, with an average speed of 150 knots while in the air. The record of the flight will be submitted to the National Aeronautic Association for ratification."
Also at Helinews some comparisons on helicopters divided in to turbine and piston categories.
I can't seem to make it fit well, so the links are here and here respectively.
Purchase several of each and help the economy...
They are sponsored by Helicopter Seychelles. Looks like a wonderful time, there is a video here.
Here is an RC video:
