 This is a NEW, UN-ASSEMBLED ‘G-1
ULTRALIGHT HELICOPTER PARTIAL KIT’ made by Vortech, Inc.I ran
into financial difficulties due to health issues shortly after I
purchased it and so I was unable to obtain funds for the
swashplate/rotor hub(you can aquire one thru them or from other sources
for between $1500 to $3500.  Additional upgrades I purchased w/kit:
custom exhaust system w/header that is supposed to boost the 43hp
Kawasaki engine(which only weighs 65lbs!) up an additional 5hp or
so,electric starter,exhaust gas temp.gauge w/probe, cylinder head temp.

The G-1
ultralight helicopter

*Example of finished unit

An engine of
40 h.p. or higher, such as this 48 h.p.2-cycle engine, is used to power
the
G-1.
*Example Photo from Vortech, Inc.
Kit listed above has the
Kawasaki 440A

Developed, tested and sold in
the 1970’s by
Compcop, the G-1 was designed to fill the need for an affordable,

easy-to-build ultralight helicopter. The entire helicopter can be built
at home
with ordinary tools at a low cost. No license is required to fly the G-1

because it is in the license-free “Ultralight Aircraft” category (see FAR Part 103).
        The construction manual
provides
all the details needed to build the G-1, and the included Catalog
gives
sources of parts and materials.

assembled kit)
