The Hummingbird is a kit helicopter that is designed for the amateur pilot. The four-place copter from Vertical Aviation Technologies has a 375 mile range and is designed to be able to be built by the "average person." The kit comes complete with every nut, bolt, washer, switch and circuit breaker, plenty of detailed manuals and takes at least 800 hours to complete. The helicopters maximum gross weight is 2700lbs and the fuel tank holds 57 gallons. The FAA will issue a Repairman Certificate to the builder so that they can maintain their own helicopter.
