Ryan Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Found this little heli on one of the other forums. Though the flying in could well deserve it's own thread, the company website is interesting. Ptarmigan Heli Looks like the bastrard child of an R22 and 300CBi. Anyone here seen or heard of this machine before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc12dude Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 umm .... is that guy in control of that thing or just along for the ride ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChopperBob Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 This is what happens when the 300 and a R22 make babies... Sure does sound neat though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtorc Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 At first glance I thought "freinds don't let friends fly two strokes", though it isn't . The Subaru is a fine engine (in a car). I am not sure I want to bang around in a piston AC in the first place, let alone one that hasn't been designed for the aerospace industrty!!

Ironclad Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 hey, that reminds me of that video of the pilot who was flying for the photo shoot back in (ontario?), you know, with the wild lift into the "hover" and subsequent take off over the photographer, same guy????

2BanAviator Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Using a Subaru (car) engine will they be able to get it certified. If they do, I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefall Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Ever wonder why subarus all have boxer engines? Its not a big stretch to use a subaru engine since subaru built aircraft engines before they built cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
