The great moment came on 1st August 2009: A great day, after about 3 years of building the very first engine run! Engine temperatures, pressures, engine rpm all within limits and correct indication. Missing was the rotor rpm indication. This later turned out that there was a mistake in the wiring leading to a defect on the voice warning card. This problem could be fixed after sending the unit to the manufacturer. This is a great opportunity to say "thank you very much" to my construction adviser Meinrad Frey, to my neighbor Armin Egli and of course also to my wife Christina!
As the workshop is quite at high altitude (1480m above sea level) I had to dislocate the helicopter during the winter down into a hall of a good friend. See the following link to see a nice video.
