	Aérospatiale Puma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Airliners.net: Aerospatiale SA-330 Puma
		The Aerospatiale (originally Sud) Puma is perhaps the most successful European built medium lift helicopter, and while most Pumas have been sold to military customers (largely for use as troop transports), a significant number are in commercial use.
		The Puma was first designed to meet a French army requirement for a medium lift helicopter capable of operating in all weather conditions.
		Early versions of the Puma were for military customers, including the SA-330B, C, E and H. The initial civil models were the Turmo IIIC powered SA-330F passenger and SA-330G freight versions, which became the first helicopters certificated for single pilot IFR operations in A and B conditions.

	Matchbox 1/32nd Puma
		When the tail boom had been assembled I found the front edges were just a little bit ‘wavy’ but a light rub with a sanding block soon sharpened up the edges making a perfect joint with the fuselage and needing no filler at all; just a little cleaning up.
		Pumas were fitted with two types of main rotor blades — metal and plastic; the kit is fitted with ‘metal’ blades as is XW208 ‘CE’ whereas XW209 ‘CF’ is fitted with plastic blades.
		An easy way to recognise them is to look for the sharp ‘shoulder’ on the metal blade, the plastic (man-made fibre) blade is of broader chord and is tapered gently to full width from the main mount on the head.

		The main advantages of using the Eagle are- 1) Standard rotation of head- no need to get used to opposite rotation, 2) Common serviceable/interchangeable parts with my current machine, 3) I know the machine inside-out- as I've been flying one over a year and a half.
		Picture 2 shows a 'ghosted out' set of Eagle mechanics superimposed over the Puma fuselage to confirm side profile fit, Pictures 3 and 4 show a test jig confirming the width fitting- not that the air filter cover needs to be removed, there is appox.
		After a long break during the summer months, the weather has deteriorated, the days are shorter, the Paramotor is less of a distraction now and I have resumed construction of the Puma.
