The 496 Two seat Ultralight Helicopter


'The Ultrasport 496 was designed to meet the FAA regulations as a Two Seats Ultralight Trainer Version. The first 496 Flight was completed in July 1995. It has since undergone complete  flight trials and features a powerful  95 hp engine (deratized from 110hp), to replace the  55hp of the single seat. The 496 has double  standard flight controls. Further optionals such as a balistic parachute, floats, running lights and the  barycentric hook  can be installed later on.
