A Highly Popular Single-Seater!
MINI-500 One-Seat Helicopter—Partial
— OPTION —
Yamaha RS Rage Snomobile (below)
DESCRIPTION:
Mini-500
single-seat
experimental helicopter, partial (S/N 0300):
This partial Mini-500 will primarily need an engine (see
Yamaha option below) and main rotor blades to be ready for
flight testing. Also missing the front windscreen. Otherwise,
mostly complete and in very good condition.
Features:
complete main and tail rotor hubs, aluminum tail rotorblades; a cabin
enclosure; instrumentation; lighting (nav. and nose light); a shaft-driven tail rotor;
ground-handling wheels.
Condition: The included parts are mechanically and cosmetically excellent, with no rust or corrosion.
Never damaged.
Option:
The engine typically used in the Miini-500 was a 65hp 2-cycle
Rotax 582 engine. However, an engine such as the 120hp Yamaha 4-cycle,
3-cylinder 973
has been used as an alternative for greatly improved power and
performance.
Ready for pickup or shipment. Located in state of Illinois. Delivery possible for a fee.
Owner is selling because he's preparing to move.
YAMAHA RS Rage Snowmobile Option:
2004 model, very good condition.
Although this snowmobile can be used as-is, it is offered here
in conjunction with the partial Mini-500 for those who might
want to adapt its engine to the Mini-500 helicopter (will likely
require some frame mod). Odometer: 8915. Will need a battery.
