Well, here it is...

My MicroHeli Warbirds Site

This site is a collection of information and pictures about my (and my friends) Micro Heli Warbirds. The site mainly covers machines based on the Ikarus Piccolo at the moment, along with my own design hybrid - the Piccornet. 

Models covered include the AH-1S Cobra, the OH-13 Sioux (two versions) and the OH-58A Kiowa.

Anyway, go have a look around, and Thanks for visiting...

Piccornet Bell UH-1 Huey Attack Helicopter
- Last updated 13/06/04

Look at the heli in the feature below...  Now look at the heli to the right.... 

Hard to believe they're the same machine eh?  This was my 3rd project for 2004 (March).

I took the dove-white, peaceful, civilian UH-1 below, and massaged it into this fire-breathing, death-dealing, "Grunt's best friend" from the Vietnam era.

The internals are once again my own-design hybrid, this time fitted to a massaged Ikarus UH-1 Huey body.

For more pictures, information and specifications please check out the feature.

Ikarus Piccolo Bell UH-1 (Civilian Version)
- Last updated 13/06/04

My second project for 2004 (February), and a temporary deviation from my Vietnam theme.  This is the standard Ikarus Bell UH-1 fitted with standard Ikarus FUN Piccolo running gear.

I built this machine up, purely as a stock review machine, and was pleasantly surprised with the way it performed, especially considering it's 'budget' origins.

This feature has pictures, details and specifications of the model.

New Zealand Piccolo Warbirds - Last updated 21/08/03

A collection of pictures of Rob Ramsey's and my own Piccolo "WarBirds".

These are machines that have been built to capture the essence of real-world military
helicopters. The airframes are based around a fixed pitch ECO Piccolo, a collective pitch ECO Piccolo, and the Piccornet Hybrid.

This feature has pictures of all three aicraft, and the information focuses on Rob's RNZAF OH-13 Sioux Scout.

Piccolo OH-13 Sioux Scout - Last updated 24/08/03

This is my OH-13S Sioux Scout. The model is based on an actual machine that served with Charlie Troop, 1st Regiment, 9th Cavalry during the Vietnam conflict.

The core of the model is an Ikarus ECO Piccolo with Ikarus collective pitch kit.

This feature contains numerous photos, specifications, and details of the model.

Piccornet OH-58A Kiowa Scout - Last updated 24/08/03

This is my OH-58A Kiowa Scout. Unlike the Sioux, this model is based on a hypothetical machine that might have served with 'The Cav' during the Vietnam conflict.

The core of this model is my own design hybrid. The frame and tail are Ikarus ECO Piccolo with a MS Composit Hornet collective pitch head, and many modified and third party components.

This feature contains numerous photos, specifications, and details of this model, along with a little of the background behind the concept.
