Helio TWIN Courier?

Did you think Couriers only had one motor? You will probably never see one, but here is a photo of a twin and for more information, check out http://www.heliocourier.net/ for all you ever wanted to know. A really interesting site started by an enthusiast and look where it has got him now! 🙂

Correct! If the single was an impressive STOL aircraft, what would the twin be capable of? 😀

Quite possibly not much better than a single but twice as much to go wrong

I ran the N number and it didn’t match. A little research turned up that there were 7 twins produced though.
