"The second problem to face is the cost of acquisition and maintenance of standard helicopters. LAF-01 design brings you a solution to this problem especially because most mechanical parts come from auto parts. This gives you the opportunity to acquire this aircraft at a very acceptable cost.
The cost for the proposed kit is forty-seven thousand US dollars (47,000 $) plus ten thousand dollars (10,000 $) for the engine and other parts. After the running cost is similar to the one of a car."
Amazing concept. I hope he's successful getting it certified through Transport Canada.
I'd take one if they become available ! (I've often dreamt of building a "Chinook")
This goes all the way back to 2004...
