Demonstrated in public for the first time in 1976, this is described as a 'Hovering Gyro-Copter'. It is powered by a 70-110hp modified water-cooled outboard engine driving the lower of the two rotors; the upper rotor autorotates. One 14 hp modified air-cooled go-kart engine drives the pusher propeller mounted at rear. M.Taylor "Jane's Encyclopedia of Aviation", 1989

it is not an helicopter ; the rear prop is not an anti-torque device ; it is a forward propulsion propellor ; primative , but plausible | | duggy, e-mail, 19.08.2009 | reply |

It interesting that the registration number on this Bensen was later used on a site-seeing aircraft which was involved in a mid air collision. | | norman, e-mail, 21.09.2008 | reply |
