Hi Norm,

Michael here with the Lake Havasu Museum of History here. As you may know Lake Havasu City if the town that Robert McCulloch built. He also formed McCulloch Aircraft Corporation and bought HERC w.Drago's designs. I'm building a new exhibit at the museum called McCulloch In The Air and the MC-4 was a big part of that story.

I would like to talk with you about your experiences and such.

You can reach me by email at collections#havasumuseum.com and you can reach me directly (call/text)) at 408-836-0422.

JK,
I like your thinking. Any progress with this new configuration? Do you know who owns the type certificate for the configuration?
Greg

I have been envisioning an upgraded version using two blade rotors sychromeshing (so you don't have to worry about overlap) and powered by the now well-known Solar t-62 gas turboshaft engine. A one man version would actually be able to meet the weight restrictions for recreational non-licence.

I flew the MC-4 1958 for Gish Jovanovich at Santa Monica CA. I don't have possession of any technical info, but if you have any questions I would be happy to try to answer them.


Dean, e-mail, 08.02.2010 21:21

Any luck obtaining any technical info on this machine? I am also trying to gather info for the same reason, but am having little luck, any ideas? let me know, TXS Dean
