Hi,


Mr. Boryslav Boniev designed a small helicopter,had a simple open-framework skeletal
metal of pod and boom outline,two-blade main and tail rotors,a non-retractable tricycle
landing gear and a single open seat,behind a curved windscreen for the pilot,the tail
rotor was mounted on the port side,and there was a tailskid beneath the tailboom at
the rear,and that was in 1978.
