[philip12]

Do these reduced size paper backs plans have the measurments on them............

What size VW engine does this aeros use and at what RPM?? I am keen on putting a VW into a AW95 type helo.

[philip12]

I think the idea was to use LIGHT ENGINES..........

[skyguynca]

The AW95 frame will NOT take a VW, it is way to heavy

[Ludde]

there is no information about the vw engine.
I have a swedish discription(in Swedish) of how to convert a vw engine.

This helicopter was designed by Art (Pop) Weilage back in the sixties.
The prototype flew very well, but the designer had no intentions to
mass produce it. It was fitted with a bubble canopy from a fixed wing,
I don't remember the type. Art Weilage was a very skilled designer
and this aircraft showed a lot of his abilities as a unique builder.
He also had a hand in the design of Hughes helicopter rotor blades.
Yes, the plans are being marketed by Vortec.....as well as everything else
that has ever been designed with rotors. :p

I agree with you, it sad when the big copanys buys the rights from the inventors.

Was Art Weilage the co-designer of the Comcop G-1?

[Ludde]

Did you buy the areos plans Philip?

[Ludde]

Yes Art Weilage was one of the g-1 designers.
