the daily running cost might be low but come overhaul time i'd imagine it to cost a fortune.. i can understand the cool factor of having a turbine powered helicopter, if i were rich i would have a turbine powered everything, but at 50L an hour with jet fuel at anywhere from 1-2USD per L, that's pretty pricey. i guess if you were using it to build up turbine helo time it would definitely be worth it if a cushy turbine job were to be the payoff.

Those blades look pretty light on inertia wise, have you auto rotated this yet?

it is this type of turbine that generates horsepower, can cost as an equal

@itsumonihon the same point of having a hobby.....(fun)......

I really NEED one of these.

Also, you must consider that some of us are just plain bored and need some really fun toys to play with. It has nothing to do with maintenance intervals or fuel burn or overhauls or time building... just sheer fuel burnin fun.

i'm just curious what's the point of a turbine helicopter if it is only single seat and not designed to carry a load?
does this time count towards turbine flying time on a license? i'm guessing no since it's an ultralight and single seat. just seems like a waste to me considering the expense of fuel and maintenance of the engine compared to a conventional engine which at this size would cost only a few dollars an hour to run.

Hours would count as turbine time because it was VH registered experimental. Very low maintenance cost on a turbine. (few moving parts) Fuel rate is high 50 l/hr!
the Point ??????? if you have to ask then you just dont get it.......
think about the fun/the challenge/the sound/high power to weight etc etc
