Bell OH-58A Kiowa
Block count: 157
This is the OH-58A Kiowa. It is a two-bladed observation and reconnaissance helicopter. However, they were also used for light attack, which is why it is armed with a grenade launcher and a minigun.
The two-bladed rotor is a so called semi-rigid rotor. It is simple in design but it does cause some vibrations.
I strive to make all my helicopters realistic in terms of looks and mechanisms, and to make them robust and easy to fly.
Update 2.0: Minor upgrades. Increased engine speed. Less shakiness. Increased hover balance.
