The Bo 105
CBS is a scale model of the most famous version of the proven multi-task
helicopter made by the MBB company (now EUROCOPTER). Helicopters of this type are
employed by various rescue services, including the ADAC air rescue service, the police forces
of many countries, and by a large number of civilian companies. Generous power reserves, the
high safety margin implied by dual turbines, plus unusually good manoeuvrability including
aerobatics - these are the outstanding features of the Bo 105
Our model is based on a machine flown by the Dortmund police helicopter team in the year
1984, but other versions (e.g. ADAC) can equally well be produced from this kit.
The effort required to complete the model varies according to your personal preferences in
terms of scale fidelity:
The simplest solution is to fit your complete UNI-Expert Mechanics or UNI Mechanics 2000, as
installed in the trainer version, in the fuselage, in which case you can fit the smoked-tint glazing
panels included in the kit. These are glued to the fuselage from the outside, and help to obscure
the non-scale internal equipment.
At the other extreme it is possible to build a scale model which will stand up well in
competitions. In this case the front structure containing the fueltank, RC box and battery
console is separated from the mechanics, allowing you to fit out the cockpit in a true scale
manner. The fueltank can then be attached to the left-hand side of the mechanics, the receiver
and other electronic components mounted under the cockpit floor, and the switch, charge
socket, refueling point and glowplug socket are mounted on the console in its new position
further aft, where access is gained through one of the scale maintenance hatches. A scale
fittings set for the cockpit interior is available separately, and includes seats and instrument
consoles. Scale non-tinted windows are also available, and these should be glued to the
fuselage, the joint lines filled and the edges painted over together with the fuselage in order to
obtain an absolutely realistic overall effect. As a final touch a scale landing light is also available
as an accessory; the light can be extended and switched on from the transmitter.
The white pigmented GRP fuselage is supplied with most windows and other openings
machine-cut. The front upper opening is large enough to take the complete Uni-Expert
mechanics or Uni-mechanics 2000 completely assembled (including compact silencer);
installation is therefore simply a matter of placing the system in the fuselage and fixing it to the
fuselage floor by means of four screws, with a further two supporting screws at the top. The
standard tail rotor drive system is based on a 2 mm Ø spring steel shaft and an angle gearbox
in the vertical stabiliser; the control linkage is based on a CFRP pushrod.
The skid landing gear features strong, scale-type skid bars moulded in glass fibre reinforced
plastic, running right through the fuselage as on the full-size machine. They are fixed to the
mechanics supports on the inside of the model.
The upper fuselage fairing, the tail cap and the main fuselage are all moulded in high-quality
GRP and finished with a high-gloss white surface. As far as possible the separation lines are
coincident with the door, panel and fairing joint lines of the original, to avoid the joints spoiling
the model's overall visual impression. The maintenance hatches with their integral ventilation
gills are supplied as vacuum-mouldings, and are simply glued into recesses moulded into the
fuselage; however, individual hatches - or even all of them - can be made to open to provide
additional access openings if you wish.
