L.H. Leonard "Helicopter-Type Aircraft" VTOL Tailsitters (1939)

[jzichek]

Just put up a new article at RetroMechanix.com on L.H. Leonard's unorthodox "Helicopter-Type Aircraft" VTOL tailsitters proposed to the US Navy & Army Air Corps in 1939:



It features 26 images, including an artist's impression, plans, and an engineering analysis. Would make a fun scratchbuild and certainly stand out in any collection!

I can't access your site. Is it my fault or "yours"?

PS, this looks like the exact sort of BSI that I need for my current wargames campaign, suitably modified of course.
If/ once I can get the data on your site (re: weights, dimensions etc.) then I plan a redesign & scratchbuild.

Site is down at the moment, will advise when I manage to get it back up and running.

RetroMechanix.com was down yesterday due to some technical issues but is now back up and running; check out this article, when you get the chance.

Thanks for the quick response.
WHIF in progress. Relevant thread to start soon.
