CarterCopter Back In The Air

After two, short, test hops and some final adjustments, the CarterCopter (CC) has taken to the air once again. A preliminary flight-test was conducted on Saturday, December 6th at 4:32 PM. It is the first time that the CC prototype has been in the air since it was damaged in a wheels-up landing last spring.

Carter has scheduled a series of short test patterns for the CarterCopter before more strenuous flight-testing begins. In addition to major repairs, Carter modified and improved several operating systems including the addition of a new turbo-charged engine. During Saturday’s test, the flight characteristics were reported to "looked very good." The aircraft achieved a maximum altitude of 900ft AGL and a maximum speed of 108 mph, but the oil temperature became too hot and the test was cut short. The oil coolers will have to be moved to remedy the problem.
