FS2004 CICARE CH-7 ANGEL
=========================
Updated version
Kit built helicopter.
The, CH-7 Angel, was designed by Italian born Argentina citizen Augusto Cicare.
The CH-7 angel is his seventh helicopter creation, hence the acronym CH-7, which
stands for Cicares helicopter #7.
The CH-7 is a conventionally configured helicopter with a main and anti-torque
tail rotor.
Cicares simplified rotor system with fewer parts. Main rotor moves through 12 degrees
positive pitch at full up collective, down to 2 degrees negative for auto rotation.
The clutch tensioning system is servo driven, an improved version of the R22 type.
