    Is anyone familiar with the LS7 V-8 powered Hummingbird 300LS?

    Have not seen much on the Hummingbird since the mid-90's when I first read about it in a magazine. CHR also came out with their Safari Helicopter(then called "Baby Belle") in the same magazine issue.

    I know the DOD purchased a handful of Ultrasports for unmanned use. Not sure that they're in business. Someone mention a dude overseas was fabing them now.

    revoutionary new design --only

    The disc rotor part looks familiar...Frank Black's/Modus Group and his disc rotor concept. DARPA/Being gave him the dirty end of the stick He's in a court battle for patent rights now. Hope he wins. Tired of seeing big industry stepping on the everyday guy.

    Tandem rotor gyroplane

    hey Joe, I noticed that your thread vanished on the other forum. Keep at it. I'm holding off until I get back to the states. I just do not have the materials that I need or the tooling here in Korea. 3 months to go. Headed to Ft. Hood. Operational Test Command.

    Morphing airframe & Human interface rotor control

    Well, I've decided that I'm not going to be able to get anything done while being stationed in Korea due to lack of tooling and getting raw materials. 3 months left. Will resume upon my return to the states with the larger scale coax as well as the 3 proto single mast. Just no time here.
