Mmmm... always worry when the poster says "easy" "simple" "few problems"...
It looks quite well equipped.... but no dual controls, and instruments angled for the pilot's benefit... Mag Keys look "Lycoming Standard" but apparently no mixture control or toe brakes but posh Wood Grain dash!
No idea.... never seen anything like it... so
French - 60's and probably didn`t sell well....???

It is the Filper Beta 200. An unusual tandem light helicopter which didn't sell. (For pretty obvious reasons I would think.)

An aircraft I had never heard of. Picture and more info here

I have to say I cannot imagine flying around in the US and anouncing to ATC that I'm flying a Trojan

Harold Emigh's first contribution to private aircraft development was his Emigh Trojan, an advanced all - metal two - passenger light aircraft whose flying surfaces had the ribs on the outside of the wing. Furthermore, it was designed so that the right wing could be flipped over to become the left wing, etc., and the right horizontal fin and elevator could become the left horizontal fin and elevator, or stood on in and become the verticle fin and rudder.

Hi, group,
I was unexpectedly called out and am now on the road away from my computer. (I'm using the one in the hotel lobby.) I'm embarrissed to have to call "OPEN HOUSE", but it seems most appropriate.
Sorry for the delay.
