The Bergen R/C Helicopters Twin Observer is a dedicated Camera Ship. Based on our popular Intrepid Gas mechanics, the reliable Zenoah/Bergen G52 engine, and 810 mm V-Blades, we have added a front mounted pan and tilt system to give you a machine capable of lifting up to 20 lb useful payload of camera equipment and radio gear. The camera mount can handle up to 8 Lbs, with the additional payload needing to be located so as to maintain CG. The dimensions of the camera mount allow a camera up to 5 7/8" wide, 6 " tall, and 12" long.
Putting the camera equipment on the front keeps you from having to utilize a tall landing gear and the inherent problems associated with it. A front mounted camera also allows you a clear 270 degree field of view, and the pan and tilt system is vibration isolated from the mechanics with 4 heavy -duty isolators to give you the clearest picture possible.
The Twin Observer uses G10 stacked frames and a torque tube drive on the tail. It also comes with all the standard features from the Intrepid line of helicopters, including a self aligning clutch system with a factory installed clutch liner, a triple bearing block supporting the drive pinion and start shaft, a 10mm fully hardened hollow main shaft, an all aluminum head and blade grips, and an aluminum push-pull control system designed to eliminate any swash plate interaction through the full range of travel. The 32 oz. fuel tank provides a flying time of approximately 30 minutes. Additional fuel tanks can be added in a saddle configuration for extended flighttimes of 2 hours or more. Of course this reduces your total payload capability.
The Twin Observer comes pre-assembled and test flown from the factory. It is NOT available as a kit, Only minor assembly is necessary after you receive the helicopter. We will install and use your radio gear for the test flights.
