The Bell 429’s skids are very ugly. If Bell had simply put classic 407/427 type skids on the 429, it would look great. But no, the Bell design team tried to be clever and copy the curvy, wraparound skids found on Eurocopter’s EC120/EC130 aircraft. Eurocopter objected and Bell decided to make an unattractive adjustment to this design, that was awful to start with. A classic case of ‘style over substance.’
@@heywoodjablowme8120 You could be right but some would do it all over again when you love something so much, like anything I guess. My Dad was on the set the day that happened to Vic.

That bell 429 is definitely different than the bell 407 and 206
Three is definitely more than two, but less than four.
Who owns this black Bell 429?
Sensacional.
Thank you very much 👍😎

Thank you Ruben 👍😎

I think they tried to make them as small and light as possible, I really love the total overall look of the Bell 429. Thank you for watching 👍😎
The 429’s have optional retractable landing gears so that fixes that issue pretty quickly and they even boost the speed up a bit also😎
Kobe Bryant doesn't approve this message 😂😆
Be nice now. This is a great helicopter he would have loved flying in this beautiful chopper.
@@EdWhisenantAviation Stevie Ray Vaughan disagrees with your opinion of helicopters 🚁. So does Vic Morrow.
