$25,000 (not incl extras shown)
I opted for the Rotax 700cc engine and purchased all the needed items
(exhaust system, pulleys, ignition, starter, carbs, etc.)

There is still some modest amount of construction left to do such as
painting the cabin, wiring and fuel tanks and radiator (for the
rotax.)
| ||||||||||||||
The helicopter has been kept in a heated garage and everything kept oiled and clean including the transmission and TR gearbox being turned to circulate oil every so often. No holes have yet been drilled in frame for radiator mount, (a plus if a turbine is to be installed.) | ||||||||||||||

This is the same model that was flown and dyno tested by BJ on the
factory ship(photo above) and I have the installation video. | ||||||||||||||
The "51% Rule" requires only that the majority of the work be performed
for "Education or Recreation." It does not require
that the majority be performed by a *single builder*. When you go to
certify the aircraft, you will be required to submit a signed affidavit
that the airplane was constructed for education or recreation. Anyone
considering buying a partially completed kit should read AC20-139 dated
4/3/96, Item 8. Suprise, it's good news from the FAA. Work done by a
previous non-comercial builder counts towards the 51%. | ||||||||||||||
