I was one of the original Ultrasport test/demo pilots. I now fly an SPIFR air medical EC-135, and have over 4000 hrs flight time. As a young pilot in 1996 I was hungry for flight time- I wouldn't do it at this point. I pushed the outside of the envelope for gross weight and high performance maneuvering in the Ultrasports. NOBODY I have ever seen has ever flown it or performed the risky performance maneuvers I did. I consider myself lucky to have survived. They flew good, but would barely get out of their own way, and the 2 stroke engines failed without warning. 2 strokes don't work in a helicopter because of the relationship between RPM and fuel flow. 2 strokes rely on fuel flow for lubrication... There was also a problem with the collective always having downward force in flight, and requiring the pilot to always keep an upward force on it. I remember my left arm would get sore from always holding the collective up while flying. The Taiwanese folks who ran the company at that time were very good to me and treated me with respect, but they refused to make the improvements to the aircraft that myself and others recommended. People came from all over the world to see the Ultrasports, and get "demo" rides. I can't believe I took the risk of carrying passengers! Some people had wild dreams of using these things as news copters, police copters, and even military attack copters... I have to laugh, knowing the machine.

Are you a trained helicopter pilot? The Ultrasport 496 was fairly docile to handle in autorotation, but it's like any other helicopter in that the pilot has to be a good energy manager, and understand the H/V curve. If you are a trained helo pilot you know what I'm talking about. I was a flight instructor in the R-22 and did many hundreds of instructional autorotations so I was very comfortable with it. It's easy when practicing... The autorotation that will hurt you is the one you're not ready for. I would only use a turbine. , but then I'm spoiled.

You can't beat turbine power to weight ratio, but damn they are thirsty. For me, the turbine is for helicopters that carry 4 or more passengers and aeroplanes that carry 8 or more passengers. Like EC 135, Quest Kodiak, Pilatus Porter, PC-12...these are the smallest turbines for me. And I will not be buying any of them anytime soon...I'm afraid. But for me, the dream machine would be Murphy Moose with M14PF...you just can't beat the feel and history of a radial bush plane workhorse.

CFII heli pilot here, and I gotta say... that was pretty fucking dumb letting your camera man stand next to the tail rotor while you took off AND THEN MOVED TOWARDS THEM. That kind of shit is how people get killed, man. And then flying directly on top of them in a hover... good fucking thing you didn't have to enter a hover auto with them right under you. FFS... do everyone a favor and just stay on the ground.
