Hello all,

I am with the LAE Helicopters Cyprus company that was retrofitting the Ultrasport 496 helicopters with the Solar T62-32 turbine engine. We are currently working on our Piranha model which will hopefully be brought out and fly-tested by the end of 2018. For more info please have a look at: http://www.laehelicopterscyprus.com/news.html

Happy landings

Antonis A.
