I hear ya, I prefer things with a 'glide path' ratio ;-)

Here's what I always wanted to build, but they [best I know] never made it to market

zenithair.com

And I think? If one could use lightweight electric motors, with a battery back up and a generator using this?

engine.kubota.com

Would "run like a NICEWATCH" ? -wink- aka great fuel economy for sure

I wouldn't ride in any helicopter that has a two-blade low mass rotor.

That includes all Robinsons.

Even experienced pilots can get so busy flying in bad weather that they fail to react quickly enough in a downdraft and that's it. Rotor slows, there's not enough inertia in it to spin up when the collective is dumped, it bumps the mast, and that's it. The end.
