Husky ultralight helicopter
This Husky ultralight helicopter uses Seibel's patented mechanism for simplified pitch control to eliminate the need for a swashplate and reduce weight and complexity. It also uses three heavy duty lightweight pneumatic-tyred castors instead of skids. This saves weight and absorbs shock better.It has a lightweight tubular steel space frame with aluminium sheeting.It is small enough to only need to occupy one space in a motor car parking lot. The colours represent the Irish flag.
