Slovenian ultralight helicopter designer Miro Crv displayed his Small Coaxial Helicopter SCH2A at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022 for the first time. Bringing the aircraft to AirVenture was done in cooperation with Mark Rumsey of Rototrek, LLC, of Murrieta, California, an official reseller of the aircraft, which is compliant to the FAA’s Part 103 Ultralight Vehicle rules.

VFS's Senior Editor Ken Swartz interviewed Miro Crv seated in a SCH2A he delivered to a US customer earlier this year.

The development of the SCH2A began 12 years ago, with the desire to have an aircraft with a small footprint driving the coaxial design, which was kept as simple as possible.

The cyclic and collective controls of the SCH2A are similar to most helicopters, but some of the unique aspects of the rotor system include a pair of 14.3ft (4.4m) diameter fully articulated rotors that use only a single spherical bearing with a special kind of damper, and a simplified transmission that uses a pair of belt drives to drive the rotors in opposite directions, eliminating the need for a heavy gearbox. The rotor downwash on the tail vanes also provides yaw control while hovering.

Mirocopter started serial production in February 2022. By the time of AirVenture 2022, the company had aircraft already flying in Korea, France, Slovenia, Germany and three delivered to the US. Priced at $35,000, the SCH2A is probably the lowestcost production helicopter in the world, with shipping costs adding about $4,000.
