I studied this thing for a while and couldn't see any reason why it wouldn't have been rideable back in the day.
Not that I'd have wanted to.
Seen at Techatticup, a former gold mine now a kind of outdoor museum.

Another beautiful design by Francesco Mancini that I had the pleasure to testfold :)
Grazie mille, Francesco!

The brand new chopper of Ceará police. Looking wonderful! Phoenix 06 arriving with class.

I wanted to build a simple, childish-shaped troop-transport chopper. I think looks kind of unfinished, but it's a WIP since months, so I decided to upload.
It used to be that a call about a break-in at your place in the middle of the night would have a chopper over your house in minutes. You know a neighborhood is bad when they have painted their street address number on the roof in big white letters like parts of Silverlake and East L.A. Nowadays, a call to LAPD about an armed psycho at your back door might get a response in an hour or so.

Just got me a chopper and I'm feeling pumped!
Another Iron Forge entry. I've used the seed part 2 times, not counting the biker minifig.
In fact, with the weather looking so good, it was the perfect opportunity to fly out! I agreed to continue up the ridge to the hut and organise the chopper while the others stayed down on the glacier. If it were possible and the chopper was available, I would then return and we would cross the glacier and head up to Bevan Col where we would wait to greet the chopper with excited and relieved smiles!
So I left the others and headed up to the hut. I'm not sure if it was from poor hydration or some other unknown reason, but I felt delirious, like I was in some kind of trance. Any idea of fatigue or pain disappeared and I powered up to the hut like never before. It felt great to arrive but first it was time for a pitstop. I used this time to regain my thoughts and ready myself for the next stage.
Relieved I returned to the hut and went to fill my water bottles for much needed hydration. The tap was frozen shut! No water for me. Hopefully the guys were melting some down on the glacier. Opening the door to the hut, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Roy, our guide from two years earlier. Of all the places here he was. After quickly outlining our story to some interested climbers in the hut I proceeded to call over the radio for a chopper. Finally it was confirmed! Weather permitting they were good to go!
Estimating the time to walk to the Col I asked for them to pick us up at 3:15pm. Roy was going to watch from Colin Todd Hut and if it was good weather and we got to Bevan Col early he would call the chopper company on his satphone to let them know we were ready to go. The sky was clear and the wind was light. Perfect! I almost ran down to the glacier I was so excited...
