I love the way the cockpit just folds into the rest of the helicopter. Awsome work! | | asante, okrah.asante, 28.05.2008 please show the schematic diagram of the parts. | | J-Rock, Georgesfloor(@)aol.com, 02.04.2008 This is a nice aircraft but can be built by the average home hobbiest with ordinary tools for less than the listed price when locating parts wholesale. For those of you interested in building an ultralight helicopter I suggest you check out the old Compcop G-1 ultralight helicopter originally designed and tested in early 70's. Its the smallest and most simple to build among being the cheapest so check it out. Vortech sells the plans for it and can be built for as little as $3,000.00 or kit form ready for assembly at about $15,000.00. This particular Helicopter has no difficult to master control system, only a throttle and tail rotor foot pedal. Becuase tiny helicopters like the G-1 are extremely sensitive to center of gravity shifts all you have to do is lean a very small amount in the direction you wish to fly.
