Lots of anxious Deposit holders are breathing easier now that 1st run of Hill’s GT50 is upon us. For these folks Hill’s progress has evolved perfectly.. Develop and build the fuselage, safety and comfort based subsystems before figuring the power plant needed. A proper helicopter with outstanding performance attracted exactly the consumer Jason Hill desired to target.
The pace was aways steady, detailed to precision and transparent beyond expectation. Most agreeably the time table slipped as the plan went from building a prototype proof of concept to within months attracting 1,000 plus people anxious to invest in Jason’s HX50 development thru non-refundable deposits.
Mr Hill being true to his nature postponed development to build and equip a state of the art manufacturing plant. Undoubtedly, Hill’s personal risk will serve to put a fantastic HX50 in the hands of deposit holders sooner than reasonably expected.
Yes, it has been most satisfying & thrilling to have been part of this journey from day one.
