Ive personally seen 2 of these kits crash and it was due to tail rotor failure in one instance and pilot error [gross] in the other. both persons survived though one was hurt badly. I saw the comment about the metal type and quality used in the kits. This may have been a problem in the past but I believe most parts have been re- texted and designed correctly. however , any oversight in construction or lack of building knowledge can easily lead to a fatal in flight falure. Recommend A@P background and exstensive parachuting experience for added saftey in case of in flight problems and high flight testing.Most pilots underestimate the practicality of these extra steps to insure your survivability just in case

Stay far away from these clowns a vortec!!! The vessel are extremely unsafe and have the higest death tolls of ANY experimental aircraft sold. Their blades are for GYROS not helis. They are made of the lowest grade non-aviation nor FAA aproved metals or methods of fabrication. They are unrealistcally cheap for a reason!! A heli cheaper than a the cheapest new car in the US? You've got to think something is funny there. The power to wieght ratios these guys use are only certifiable in the US and 12 other contries, most in Africa and the rest in Asia, none in Canada, Central & South America or EU.
