How about a 'kit helicopter' powered by a V8 ?

That looks so ugly and clumsy!
On Mark Evans' "A chopper is born" programme they showed a gas turbine kit helicopter - hugely expensive but looked beautiful!

A v8 seems heavy for a helicoptor... a lot of builders in the U.S. use Rotax snowmobile engines. 2-cycle, oil injected,very light and powerful
(800cc ~ 115hp)
-=too much horsepower is just enough=-

Looks a bit funny. The exhaust sticking out the back looks daft.

I would feel a bit vunerable with it just flying overhead. Looks like it was built in Gulval.
