Homebuilt and Sport Helicopters of New Zealand - Some Other Unregistered Helicopters (2)

 Another helicopter that has been for sale on Trade Me is the Hillberg EH1-01 Rotor Mouse:

The Hillberg EH1-01 Rotor Mouse N10TE (c/n 01) was designed and built by Don Hillberg of Fountain Valley, California and was issued with a FAA Certificate of Airworthiness in the Experimental category on 22/11/93.  It is a single seat turbine helicopter modelled after the Boeing Apache with a 145 HP Garrett turbine and it flew successfully.  Its dimensions are: length 20 feet 2 inches (6.13 metres) and the rotor diameter is 20 feet (6.1 metres).  It suffered a couple of accidents in 1994 and 1996 but proved itself to be strong as it was rebuilt successfully.  Its FAA registration was revoked on 2/10/21. 

However it apparently was shipped to New Zealand about 10 years ago and is for sale on Trade Me at Kerikeri where the above photo was taken.  It is possible that we may see it registered here in the future.

Thanks to Richard Currie for the information.
