+Nightshade/PR 6,862 Posted October 24, 2020 Nope, I'll pass. Thought old dude was going to lose a head to the blades at one point, but kudos to him getting it off the ground 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks to me they like to keep their field looking good. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Gepard 10,241 Posted October 26, 2020 The Kamov-26 was always underpowered. To fly this helicopter it was neccessary to push the engines to their limits. There was no power reserve for emergencies. IIRC there was a Ka-126 with gasturbines, which was a much better helicopter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
