Hey thanks, Alouette

I know it cops a drilling for being still based on the 206... But I think it looks awesome

Pity sales wernt so good, and the IFR version was replaced by the 429...

The high and float skids look cool on these... Wheres it operating?

Has anyone got photos of the IFR mockups, that were doing shows, or the one with the 429 rotor system fitted?

Not many in Australia would love to see one fly one day?

Simon

You sure do get around John. A very tidy kit built with VH reg no less? Amazing diversity in the market place!

John,

I'm guessing that 412's at Redcliffe, any ideas who's machine it is?

Would NOS have 'experimental' on it because its the diesel prototype?

I think that the Hummingbird has 'Experimental' on it as its a kit build, and as such is required to wear 'Experimental' tags.

Hummingbird link.

Fruitbats to be more precise. They are quite a pain in the rear...
