Mini-500
« AIRCRAFTTired of being stuck in traffic? With a Mini-500 you could just be lifted above all that hustle and bustle and land in the front yard of your destination. Sounds like fun, huh? Well, it would be without all those darn regulations. The Mini-500 Helicopter is one example of the many types of aircraft which can be built by individual builders from kits. These aircraft are called "Experimental," and operate under many different kinds of rules designed to keep not only the pilot and passengers safe, but also to insure the safety of people on the ground, so there are rules about who can fly, how many passengers, where you can fly and when you can fly.
