Due to the amount of interest we have had with military and law enforcement we are now equipping our SCII with the Lycoming I0-360, which outperforms our original Subaru choice.  Production is now underway for both fully finished machines and kits!  If you are interested in purchasing, please let us know and we will forward all detailed information.  We are in the middle of revamping the website and will be posting all updated information on specific costs, performance specifications, and available options!  So please stay posted to www.sportcopter.com!

Here is what we offer:

1) The "QUICK BUILD" HIGH PERFORMANCE KIT:  As soon as we open kit production we will be offering a pre-fabricated one piece cabin, so that no gluing is required to assemble the kit.  The cost is estimated at $59,995.00 (less engine and prop package). 

2) The "PARA-MILITARY" FULLY ASSEMBLED SCII:  For governmental and law enforcement agencies will be completely assembled, test flown, and fully equipped with instruments. Additional options are available for other applications.

3) The "STAGE BUILDER" FOR THE WEEKEND BUILDER:  The kit will eventually be priced to purchase in "stages"  so you can pay as you go!  All costs and performance specifications will be made available as soon as all numbers are in.

The price of the SSII kit is $59,995.00. Engine and prop packages are sold separately dependent on customers choice.  The cost of the engine is $31k and the prop is $7,800k bringing the total kit cost to approximately $98,800.  We do not have any breakdown costs on stage building at this time.

The SPORTCOPTER II  made its first flight on 09/11/07 and we have been continuing to put it through the paces of "pushing the envelope" type maneuvers, further testing the performance of its capabilities.   During the last two years of testing we made the decision to go with a more reliable, higher horsepower aircraft engine, changed the tail design for better performance, as described in more detail below.  The SCII flies steady on the stick, extremely quiet and you are in complete comfort while racing along.  The visibility moves from every angle as you get a bird’s eye view, while you effortlessly move the stick through maneuvers.  A steady rotor system, steady stick, a roomy cabin with sturdy suspension will be only some of the selling points.  The breathtaking body design and sleek appearance will be just a perk.  When coming in for a landing you can literally "drop" in from as high as 15 feet and the beefy suspension grabs and glides the occupants to a perfect touch down landing….making any landing look flawless.  We are currently working on editing the new video and will be available soon!

The SPORTCOPTER II was a big hit at the shows and we are now in full kit production as dealerships are already being set-up around the U.S. and overseas!   All domestic dealership inquiries can be made directly to AIRGYRO at info@airgyro.com  or call them at (801) 794-3434.  They will be glad to provide you with the information.  If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call…503-543-7000, and we will be glad to answer them!

WHY WE CHANGED THE TAIL DESIGN

This decision was made after a year of testing with several configurations.  Also the cruciform tail seemed to "hunt" at high speeds and this needed to be changed.  We are very pleased with the new tail design as it far outperformed the cruciform design and has fixed the stability issues for both pitch and yaw.  The horizontal stabilizer has a slightly larger surface than before, and because it is out in cleaner airflow it is not starved during quickly reduced power settings.
