Default A/W-95 Helicopter by A-B Helicopters

Is the A/W-95 Helicopter by A-B Helicopters a good design for what it
is ??? I'm thinking of building it but appreciate any advise .


The world of small kit (or plans)-built helicopters is a place with a
somewhat troubling history. Before you make any decision on building any such
machine from any company I suggest that you do some basic investigation:

1) Get several opinions from folks in the know on this subject.
2) From the company, get the names of a few happy customers with over 100 hours
on their machines (if there aren't any, you know what to do).
3) Visit at least one or two of the customers. Airshows are a great place to do
this.
4) Get some flight training first, it will make you a more informed customer and
builder. After all, you can't learn to fly in a one-seat helicopter.
