| Description |
This single seater, open frame helicopter with full instrumentation was designed by Augusto Cicare as the CH-4 in the early years of the 1980s. It is only possible to obtain the plans for the machine, which you have to build yourself. This is only a viable solution for people with professional engineering and craftsman skills. When built, this helicopter can be flown in the experimental category.
The design ideas are also used in the Cicare CH-6 and CH-7, which demonstrates their quality. Nowadays, you can buy the plans as the SkyLark or the Furia, depending on the company that is selling them. Nevertheless, the designs have the same origins, irrespective of the seller.
