It looks like a loach.

@scaremenga A loach? The original killer egg? The thing is a cross between a huey and a jetranger. Control stick and instrument panel look very similar to the one I saw in the 1969 Revell Huey kit I built back then. The OTHER copter they have is bascially a very stretched Hughes 500 loach MD something-or-other, it's more nimble but not as cushy as this one.

[biukucanoe]

@tgolledge OMG there are helicopter geeks and then there are are the fetishists.....

Even with wheels the sponsons hold fuel, Read more on the subject please.Then post,

[biukucanoe]

@hillberg100 And now the helicopter geeks really come out. Boy I had no idea. Well, there's bound to be more room for fuel, but that's just a guess.

Isn't the 430 rated part 135 IFR operations as well?

Nice but the EC155 still takes the cake.

[scaremenga]

@biukucanoe Haha.. oops. I know there is a Loach copter, but I was referring to the loach fish species.

@av8r6969 The Bell 430 is the best looking helicopter I've seen . She's loud , which is a sound to like if you're an accident victim waiting for help on a lonely highway or a family member of a patient who's had a sudden stroke , miles away from the nearest hospital with advanced emergency care . AIR ST. LUKE'S ROCKS !

[av8r6969]

Very nice aircraft! I flew the Bell430 (Flight Safety Certified) in Angola Africa from Jan. 03 - Mar. 09 for the oil industry. It's like a Cadillac, and the autopilot is awesome. Cpt. Michael
