WP A119KOALA RUMPF für Micro Star 4 Graupner 4461 The AGUSTA A119 »KOALA« is a general-purpose single-engined turbine helicopter, based on the familiar twin-engined A109. In contrast to the A109 the Koala only has one turbine and a robust skid landing gear instead of the fixed or retractable wheeled undercarriage. The roomy cabin provides space for up to seven passengers, one tonne of freight or - in the rescue version - two stretchers. The Pratt & Whitney PT6B-37Aturbine generates a take-off power of 1002 BHP, and a continuous output of 872 BHP, giving the »KOALA« a superb performance. With this fuselage kit the MICRO STAR 400 mini electric helicopter can be transformed into a semi-scale model of the AGUSTA A119 »KOALA«. The MICRO STAR should first be thoroughly test-flown and trimmed for flight. Its chassis, complete with tail boom and braces, but without canopy and skid landing gear, is then screwed to a lightweight plywood base plate, to which a semi-scale broad-based skid landing gear is also attached. The two lightweight vacuum-moulded fuselage shells enclose this assembly. The shells are glued together at the tail end only; at the front they are held together with strips of tape, so that the chassis can be removed from the fuselage easily at any time for maintenance work. The flight battery can be changed through an opening in the bottom of the fuselage, without removing the fuselage shell itself. The fuselage shells are vacuum-moulded from transparent plastic, and are designed to be painted on the outside. Pre-cut self-adhesive masks for the windows are supplied. As you would expect, the maximum flight time per battery charge varies according to the models set-up and the pilots flying style. The model does weigh around 100 g more than the basic MICRO STAR 400 model, so reduced flying times must be expected.

Instructions in German, English and French. Vacuum-moulded fuselage half-shells in transparent plastic, wooden parts, skid landing gear components, glazing panel masks, decal sheet, small items.
