Looked like a nice kit until I spotted the fence post between the seats :suspect:

I've flown the Robinsons and I'm rather fond of their cyclic.

plenty of talk about sleek aerodynamic styling, but none about crashworthiness.???

something which seemed to jump out at me after I saw the picture of the rear undercarriage attach point. - attached how to what? maybe one good smack might be the end of it?

however I think that RVDT's comment in the Cabri thread on the evolutionary process of lighties should mean that we look at things with very open minds.

Is it a notar type anti torque system? How well does it auto?

Easy handling starts with the instruments. Therefore we have restricted their number to the neccessary which also keeps the panel sleek and ensures good visibility

So no artificial horizon, it looks like? Doesn't even seem to have a slip/skid ball? Still, since it's intended to be a kit-build, I guess you get some control over exactly what instrumentation you want, and each unit will be different.
