In my previous post on Revolution Mini 500K helicopters of New Zealand, I referred to the Mini 500K ZK-HOB2 being converted to a 2 seat turbine helicopter.
ZK-HOB2 was rebuilt as an Alpine Aviation Ltd T500 with a new c/n of 001 on 15/3/10. The conversion was extensive with the helicopter being widened into a 2 seat helicopter with power coming from a Solar T62-2A turbine of 150 HP. The conversion was carried out by Howard Jamieson and the new helicopter was registered to Alpine Aviation Ltd on 15/3/10. It is still current.In this photo, also taken at Ashburton on 22/4/10 you can clearly see the 2 seats.
