Building The Helicycle N321MZ
This week, deposits were sent to Eagle R&D the manufacture of the Helicycle kit. The Helicycle is a single placed turbine helicopter. Eagle R&D had originally sold three kits to Scionuas.com who made the SA-400 Jackal for the U.S. Navy to be used as an optionally piloted drone. The company ended up only using two of the kits and the third one will end up being N321MZ. This kit was from the Eagle R&D Production Run #6.
