Home Base of SAFARI Helicopter
Spend a little time exploring the information about the SAFARI, and you'll be ready to explore the world from the seat of your own helicopter.
When deciding between a certified and experimental aircraft, the two most important considerations are safety and cost of ownership. The SAFARI has proven itself with a 20 year safety record , and simplicity and ease of maintenance make the SAFARI the helicopter of choice for the pilot who would rather fly than "fix".
With no belts or chains, the SAFARI offers the security of oil bath gears, chip detectors, and over running sprag clutch. The SAFARI does not use a proprietary engine, requiring repairs and service available at only a few locations. Because it is reliably powered by a Lycoming aircraft engine, the SAFARI can travel the world.
We want to provide the information you need to make a decision you will be happy with for many years.

Bill "Flangehead" Meyer
After a long struggle with illness, Bill "Flangehead" Meyer has passed away. Many in the experimental helicopter community know him as the driving force behind the organization and management of Choppertown at the SunNFun Air Show in Lakeland, Florida. Those of us who knew Bill and Bobbie realized that SunNFun 2011 would likely by Bill's last show, and quite a show it was. One little tornado was not enough to stop Bill, and he demonstrated the ?*$@* and vinegar that made him uniquely "Flangehead". Bill's drive and determination were the reason "Choppertown" existed at the show, and he will be missed by us all.
