The award-winning Kinney Hot Rod Helicopter
(HRH) is a true world-class, cross-country performer, with features
that easily surpass those of virtually any other single-seat
helicopter—a combination of good looks and outstanding
maneuverability. Simply stated, no other design in its class offers
the HRH's combination of smooth, light-touch controls and
state-of-the-art performance, whether for sport flying or a wide range
of practical applications. The outstanding features of the HRH
include: a powerful 165 hp 4-cycle, 4 cylinder Subaru engine; a
heavy-duty, sophisticated rotor head with full cyclic and collective
pitch and an electronic system for maintaining rotor speed;
long-lasting, composite main rotorblades; a shaft-driven tail rotor;
an enclosed composite cabin with a fully equipped instrument panel; a
vinyl-covered seat with comfortable energy-absorbing foam; a 4-point
aircraft seat belt; and a tinted polycarbonate windshield; a
powder-coated airframe formed of aircraft-grade 4130 chro-moly steel.
Important: The HRH plans do not detail the construction of the tail
rotor mechanism and final assembly of the main rotor head; the creator of the plans intended for the builder to buy those
components complete and ready-to-mount from companies such as RotorWay (now Rotor X), RotorWay-Rework, etc.
