FS2004 FILPER BETA 200
======================
In 1960 the American company "Filper Research" managed by William Orr built an unusual helicopter. It was equipped with "Gyro Flex" system of rotors. The novelty was in using special sinkers for rotors trimming supported at the base of the blades. This concept was first tested on a Filper Helicopter that had two pylons with rotors connected by a bar and the pilot sitting on top. The engine was also located there.
Filper Beta 200 flew on May 26, 1966. The company designers planned to build several modifications of this helicopter, both two-seat (Model 200A and 300) and four-seat (Model 400A and 600A).
