Andre,

That kit, with its mild steel welded frame, went out of production in the early 90s. The company, Vancraft, owned by Chuck Vanek, closed down in about 1985, but his son Jim opened Sport Copter in the same location in 1988. Jim's design has a vaguely similar-looking semi-enclosure, but the frame is bolt-together aluminum tubing, except for steel masts on machines powered by the Rotax 912 or Subaru.

That picture may be of a machine with McCutcheon Skywheels, an optional upgrade.

I had a set of Vancraft blades 28ft wood and fiberglass and they were not bad. but Jim's has taken his blades to a new level and I will be picking up a set when I get done building my 2nd Vancraft 2-place. Jim is located in Scappoose, Oregon and you can get more info at www.sportcopter.com
