Well what would you all think off a 2 seat heli for about $70k Euro fully built and test flown, damned if i can remember what it is called now but it does not have a tail rotor, just jet air, like some of the bigger types, and all this powered by my favorite power plant Rotax.
From early figures it has the same lift capibilities of the R22, 15000' ceiling, around the 80+ kts cruise and about 4 hrs on fuel on board, sounds a little to good to be true, but it is from a guy who should know.

That does indeed sound very interesting- especially the NOTAR system - apparently you have to use another fan to generate the airflow for the tail rotor authority.

I met with little enthusiasm on the ROG site when I questioned if it were possible to redirect the Turbine Exhaust supply through a shielded duct in the tail boom . Please let us know more if you remeber or come accross any other details like a web site perhaps.

Hi There Bones, Peter,

Is this the NOTAR 2-place heli you were talking about last year?

Peter, how is your Turbine Exec build going? Would still like to come over and see your project, PM me when you are available to accomodate a visit.

Regards,

Francois
