Could the rotodyne lift anything underslung ?

Yes.  There are published pictures showing it lifting a Bailey Bridge section.  It had a cargo hook under the fuselage.

Nice one ! Thanks you sir. An aeroplane I've always liked but really know nothing about. I had almost bought the kit a year or two ago, and a few years before that....next time it comes out I swear I will !

There's entire threads about the Rotodyne on here, you'll find all you ever wanted to know on them I expect, as well as some stuff you DON'T want to know as well.

Thanks for the tip ! I just went and watched some Youtube videos and now I have an even bigger bone, er, I mean appreciation for the aeroplane !

It's worth getting the Gibbings book on the Rotodyne, if you're intetested:

Just came across this pretty Mustang/Sea Fury/Aussie crossbreed! Has potential, IMHO

Looking at the ground crew, it almost appears like they're playing vertical tug of war with the Rotodyne !
