What scale do you guys think the helicopter is?

I'm thinkin' 1/24 cause it looks about half way between the BBI 1/18 and the old Revell (I think) 1/32 kit...
and it's ugly but I want one...

smaller than 1/18 for sure, i would say, unless the guy holding it is huge....pics like this are tricky. r/c stuff doesn't tend to fall in any of the normal scales, unless by accident, as they are usually made to be compatible with existing rotor/motor systems. It looks about the size of the chap mei OH6, which is around 1/21.

I've actually seen these in person at my local mall being demonstrated flying. I did not have anything to positively identify the scale at the time, but I was able to get a pretty good estimate just by looking considering I own the BBI 1/18 MH-6 which I'm very familiar with.

It appears to be ~1/20. I.e., it would be too tight a squeeze to fit most 1/18 guys inside, but I think if you had an extra short 1/18 pilot, or removed the lower legs or something like that, you could probably squeeze somebody inside.

All in all though, if you don't already own a 1/18 AH-6 to put right next to it, it would look in scale.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more ~1/18 compatible R/C choppers! I think it is only a matter of time considering all the ~1/18 R/C fixed wing aircraft out there now.

Honestly, it looks kinda weird. For an RC thing it looks ok, but its not going to look right next to ANY realistic 1/18th stuff. Also, its more expensive than a 1/18th scale littlebird, which you can get from smalljoes for 35 dollars, badcat for 30, or other places for 35-40.
