Not a bad looking machine, could be just the thing to put the wind up Frank, especially at 75000 Euro. Also nice to see someone using some modern engine technology for a change. Lets hope the FAA plays nicely and certifies it

Well, well! That little buggeroo sure has some Nick Lappos-size doors on it! If it can lift two guys of his...um...stature I think you're gonna have a winner. Has Sergio Sikorsky seen this thing? I'm sure he'd be interested.

Where can I buy one?
Does anybody know what engine is used?
The seats don't seam to be "crashworthy", or am I wrong.

RB,
Slightly neg attitude asking about crashworthy seats, its the rest that should concern you, not just where your ar88 is sitting!;)
But looks like a deffo contender to kick uncle Franks backside in Euro land:ok:

On a previous thread it was stated that the machine uses a converted Subaru 4-cylinder boxer engine.
...I wonder how long that will last in this application?!!!
I'm glad to see someone is having a go though.
Good luck chaps,

Rotorbee,
It says on the site that it's built to FAR 27 standards, this being the case it needs to be survivable in a 15G vertical impact. Therefore I'd say it could be expected that the seats are very crashworthy:ok:

Why don't you post some of the specs? A bit information about the engine, perfomance, design of the rotorhead and so on, would certainly help the discussion here.
But do not mention the delta 3 angle. Just in case Lu is around.

Thanks, very interesting. Now I will trust the seats.
When do you expect certification?

Hi,
i would ask how does the rotor adresses the lead-lag ? the magic strap has the great role but how ?
thanks
