Our Bell 505 Helicopter Weathervane was first ordered by a family living high up in the windy Colorado Rockies. They own a real life Bell 505 and love it.  When under construction they chose the 505 as their weather vane for the cupola over the great room of their home.

The helicopter is an all copper sculpture piece with optional palladium gilding delineating the windows, stripes and rear rotor. As this piece weathers, darkens and eventually patinas, these silvery visual details will be very effective.

Due to the high winds and updraft at 5000 foot elevation an optional security device attaching the sculpture piece to the main rod was selected.

Helicopters are popular weather vane orders. We’ve done many. Most are associated with a family member’s enduring memories of piloting one at some point in their lives. Even currently for some.

If you, too, have a passion for helicopters, enjoy exploring the various ones we’ve created through the years here.
