Vertical thrust is achieved by collective blade pitch control of both rotors. For directional control, cyclic blade pitch control of both rotors is used. Yaw control is provided by moving tail plates. For vertical thrust, direction, and yaw control, SCH-2A helicopter is equipped with standard helicopter control inputs.

At $33,750, the Mirocopter SCH-2A is the lowest cost production helicopter in the world! The SCH-2A is fully built and is not a kit.” He added, “A 50% deposit is required to reserve a production slot. The remaining 50% is due ten days prior to shipping. DHL shipping is estimated to be around $3,000.” 

Mirocopter Coaxial SCH-2A
Composite FX’s XEL Part 103 helicopter uses a conventional configuration with single rotor and tail boom. Anyone with helicopter experience as needed to fly XEL or SCH-2A safely has almost certainly flown tail boom rotary. Coaxial is different; no tail boom is needed.

Developed by Miroslav Črv, Mirocopter is based in Slovenia — also the home of Pipistrel. With today’s news you might wonder, so let me assure the country is not near Ukraine and all that regrettable turmoil. Slovenia is immediately south of Austria and more than 400 miles to the west of the war zone.

Mirocopter SCH-2A is powered by a Chinese-made Fiate MZ202 two-cylinder, dual-ignition, two-stroke gasoline engine. The MZ202 engine provides more than 60 horsepower at 5,800 rpm, the “nominal engine speed on SCH-2A.” The full Fiate MZ202 engine package comes with with electric starter, electric generator, dual ignition, exhaust system, and modified fan cooling system weighing only 66 pounds.

• Coaxial is easier to fly than a conventional configuration. When you pull collective you aren’t concerned with torque like in a conventional helicopter. If it is easier to fly, it is a bit safer, too.

• Coaxial can lift more weight so bigger pilots can fly it.

• Coaxial is quieter because it has no tail rotor and can run the engine at a lower rpm for the same weight.

• By lifting the same weight at a lower RPM you burn less fuel and the engine will last longer.

• Coaxial has a smaller footprint because the rotor diameter doesn’t have to be as big and there is no tail rotor sitting outside of the rotor diameter.

• Coaxial has a 20% slower decent rate in autorotation than a conventional helicopter.

• The price of the Mirocopter SCH-2A is about two-thirds the price of a Mosquito.
