Pzkpfw-e Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Quote Cariboo weighs in at ~13,000kg, less ~1500kg for the engines & say 500kg for the tail? So around 11,000kg. Chinook can lift just under 11,000kg, so pretty much maxed out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Looks like it might be an Australian Chinook, their military used to have the Cariboo in service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hall Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 That is impressive, I wonder how much forward speed the Chinny can get and of its enough to create lift on the wings of the Cariboo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 No engines fitted so there is a bunch of weight gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Weight is one thing but the size is another, it’s bigger than the Chinny! I’m impressed and it’s not the first time a Chinnys impressed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
