American Sportscopter Ultrasport 496


 NO RESERVE AUCTION!
This is a New kit from 1995 that was never completed. I picked this up a few years ago along with some other aircraft just so I could resell them.
All manuals and Blueprints are here to help bring this kit to flyable condition.
The construction of the fuselage is honeycombed aluminum covered with graphite fiber for a very strong and very light weight helicopter. All the gearboxes and blade pitch controlling systems are very well engineered, nothing was designed or made in some guys garage.  A two cylinder Hirth engine is the power plant and has a machined titanium shaft up to the main rotors. Floats for landing on water are made of fiberglass.

!KNOWN MISSING PARTS!: Polycarbonate windshield, tubing used for control stick, rear blades, and both carburetors.

I will be willing to work with the buyer on personal delivery for for an extra charge.

DESIGN
FEATURES: Design objective of 254 was basic weight not to exceed 115kg
(254 lb) in order to comply with FAR Pt 103. Two-blade composites
construction main rotor with tip weights for momentum conservation m
event of engine failure, 8° linear twist and infinite life; shielded
two-blade tail rotor; tailplane with tins at tip; tail rotor drive
carried in narrow streamlined tail boom. Centrifugal spring clutch for
starting engages rotors at 2,000 engine rpm and automatically disengages
in the event of engine failure. Quoted build time 80 hours. Broad
(2.44m) skid track helps to prevent rollovers.

FLYING
CONTROLS: Conventional collective, cyclic and yaw pedals. Floor-mounted
cyclic option available since 1998; early models had top-mounted stick.

STRUCTURE: Generally of epoxy resin, graphite fabric and Nomex honeycomb; aluminum tail boom.

LANDING GEAR: Aluminum skids stressed for landings at up to 2.5g; floats (weight 18kg).

POWER
PLANT: One 41.0kW Hirth 27G3 dual-carburetors two-stroke engine with
pull starter and 12:1 planetary transmission. Normal fuel capacity 19 liters.

ACCOMMODATION: Single seat partially enclosed.

SYSTEMS: Electrical: 12V battery; 14V alternator fit appropriate to engine.

American Sportscopter (ASI) was formed in 1990 to produce an ultralight helicopter to FAR Part 103, which was designated Ultrasport 254.
This kit-built machine first flew in July 1993. It is a single-seater
with a semi-enclosed composite fuselage structure, skid undercarriage
and a tubular tailboom with tailplane and twin fins and a tail rotor
enclosed in a large circular shroud. It is powered by a 55hp Hirth 2703
engine mounted behind the cockpit rear bulk-head. The Ultrasport 331 is a larger version of the 254
falling within the American “Experimental” category (FAR Part
21.191g), with increased range and higher gross weight. This first flew
in December 1993. It was followed by the Ultrasport 496 two-seater which commenced flight testing in July 1995. It has a wider cabin than the 331 and uses a 95hp Hirth F.30 engine. The Ultrasport helicopter kits are manufactured in Taiwan.
