adam32 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Yep, I guess the rumors are finally true...hopefully they will get FAA certified. http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90776/90882/6564090.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloheli Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Will they be available at WalMart. This whole everything built in China should scare the hell out of all of us. But being a fan of the fh 1100, mabey they can do what Nevel(sp?) couldn't. Hopefully the FAA wont screw it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanic Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I see Brantly is building the Brantly in China now too. The TX factory is also building up to 12 in 09', will prob go to China too. A good source said the factory raised the price from 170K for a newun to 230K. I kinda get the feeling we will loose Brantly to China. Brantly.info link, click news, click new brantly's.

The price increase certainly doesn't help with getting new customers either. Hiller also needs some help, so hopefully this China deal will end up being a good thing since I pick up my Hiller on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotorWeed Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I wonder what they are going to use for an engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam32 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I wonder what they are going to use for an engine? I would think they would still use Lycoming...? Maybe they will upgrade to a fuel injected version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
