You want a Gazelle that blows all others away?  This is the one you will want to download.  You will not go wrong with this beautiful work from Cyril Pioffet. There is 5 textures to this bird so you can fly whatever color helicopter you want.  The Virtual cockpit is really nice.  This one is sure to be the talk around the hanger.  Download yours at GMAXFLIGHT.

Schweizer 300 

by Jordan Moore

I wanted to introduce this wonderful Schweizer 300 by Jordan Moore into the pages of Rotor Gold because this helicopter is perfect for new pilots.  For you old helicopter jocks, it just a kick to puddle jump around in.  Kinda the commuter helicopter for those weekend flights.  For new pilots, I would highly suggest this bird to start in.  Very easy to control, good panel to view and the virtual cockpit is clear and open.  Excellent to get started with.  The other special features offered with this bird is the standard version as seen above but also a spray and float version.  Get yours at Hover Control.

Bell 47

by Jean-Marie Mermaz

There is no doubt about this wonderful helicopter.  This is absolutely the best Bell 47 on the market to date.  This helicopter has moving main and tail blades. The detail work is second to none.  This bird is Gmax material at its finest.  The sound is excellent and flight dynamics superb.  To get your download of this and a float version, click HERE now for Aviation Passion.  You won't be sorry.

Augusta A109E Power
 by Navin Bopitiya

Well I just found my favorite Augusta.  You need to download this helicopter that Navin had put together.  The detail is outstanding. This helicopter I would recommend as the bird for the newer pilots of FS2000.  Loads of fun.  Retractable landing gear and note the two passengers in back. You can almost read the paper that the guy is reading. Excellent work Navin and wonderful handling.  Grab this one at Simviation.
