Full demo with onboard camera. Notice the throttle inputs, made by the pilot on the collective stick! The combined throttle lever controls both engines. Note: the helicopter was not equipped with governor!
This helicopter was produced in Кумертау (Russia) in 1973, and it was flown by the Aeroflot until the early 1990s as CCCP-19334. It came to Hungary in 1994, since then she is being used for agricultural purposes and for mosquito control tasks.
Nowadays she is working in the middle of Fejér county, Hungary, as one of the best maintained Ka-26 in our country.
Note, that the spraying system was modernised. The tail boom has been dislocated lower than the original one. With this, the affect of the rotor wind (possible spray drift) has reduced, chemicals can be applicated more precisely.
Due to another development, the left and right main spraying boom can be opened separately, half row can be sprayed without wasting chemicals, and It’s more safe to use near endangered
