Comment by Timothy F. Heilig on January 24, 2012 at 12:36pm: well I am hoping to see this group grow, if you have any questions about Experimental helicopter kits and designs, feel free to contact me. if I don't have the answers I can direct you to the people that do.

I have been studying kit built Helicopters since around 1975. and I have an extensive collection of EAA and other Rotor craft magazines with the original write ups on several machines. I also have connections on finding parts on older machines.
