Another bit of Mi-6 trivia, the wings were first fitted to the second prototype and they were of
vartiable incidence with different settings for cruise and autorotation. The variable incidence feature
was deemed unnecessary and the wings are of fixed incidence on production machines, 14º 15' port
and 15º45' stbd. The wings off-load the rotor in cruise up to 25% of all-up weight.

Speaking of the second Mi-6 prototype, get a load of those spats!

According to Red Star Vol.22 Mil's Heavylift Helicopters at least the first 120 Rostov built machines
had the spats.

What they don't tell you is that the rest would have had spats except someone kept stealing them...Brian... ::)

Unfortunately, given previous unicraft efforts. I would expect the kit to look nothing like the real product and also to be of questionable build ability.

Looks better than the only other winged Model 47, the one converted to be the "Bat-copter" from the 1966-ish Batman movie.
