Please do tell.

Let me guess Mini FireScout

Just a educated guess,

I prefer the picture on the Cover of this months Shepard UMAV, but I don't have it handy.

I am guessing from your stats, you are not using the Rolls-Royce/Allison 250-C20W turboshaft; 175 kW (235 shp)

Flyboy,

The Fire Scout is actually a turbine powered Hughes 300, not really anything new, (a proven design) other than the autonomous control system. The cost is in the six figure arena.

This heli is the Star-Lite, completely new design from the ground up. Power comes from an air cooled 52 HP Rotax 2 stroke. At the present it is flown by remote control the same as we fly our smaller models, eventually it will be autonomous.

The company is R&D, they build RPV’s for clients who have certain requirements, size, speed, payload, etc. This one is not available to the general public.

If you have enough $ they will design and build your own custom heli.

I am involved mainly for piloting and training.
