StanFoster Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I have talked to Helicycle pilots for 5 years before I bought my own kit. I was convinced that this helicopter is a real work horse. My own experiences are what counted to me. My first flight was Sept. 1st of 2010. Since then I have flown this machine quite often through the winter and just flew it yesterday. It has flown in single digit temps and has never failed me in anyway. I did have a forced landing in it, which was totally my fault...so I let it down. Since then, the fuel has been turne on more to the turbine....I have switched the main fuel solenoid to NO instead of NC. I have a back up battery that will run the governor should I have a total power failure. I hear a lot of testomonies...but let me direct you to YouTube where I have 85 videos on there now, and will constantly be uploading more from time to time. I feel that is the best testimony, just watching videos of how this machine performs. Here is the latest from yesterday, and feel free to browse Helicyclepilot for all my other videos. This helicopter is very easy to fly, and the maintenance on it is very minimal. Stan Illinois Quote
SBuzzkill Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I love those little ships. Someday I hope to build and own one. Quote
blueridge2k Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 as Stan already knows i have watched almost all his videos and he gladly enough made a new walkthru video because i suggested it on another forum.. his pictures and videos are awesome.. Quote
Mikemv Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Stan, I am glad to hear that you have been flying a lot and also of the safety/operational improvements that you made. I will watch the videos for pleasure and relaxation. Best wishes, MikeMV Quote
MLH Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Stan, I own a Raven II, I'm spoiled by the amount of room. I would like to try a Helicycle if I could fit into one, 6'3" and 200lbs. What's the headroom measurement from the seat to the inside canopy? Thanks, Mike Quote
StanFoster Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Mike- I am 6 ft. 2 in. and 220 pounds. The cabin is roomy, though a helmet on is a little tight. The height from a normally compressed seat to the cabin ceiling is 38 inches...the cabin width is 27 inches. StanStan, I own a Raven II, I'm spoiled by the amount of room.

MLH Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Stan, Sounds like there's enough room. The factory is just a few hours south of me, I'll have to visit them this spring. Your videos are great! Mike Quote
