[1] The Eagle's Perch was designed to comply with the US Experimental - Amateur-built aircraft rules.

It featured two coaxial main rotors, a single-seat open cockpit without a windshield, skid-type landing gear and two twin-cylinder, air-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 50 hp (37 kW) Hirth 2706 engines.

With full fuel of 10 U.S. gallons (38 L; 8.3 imp gal) the payload for pilot and baggage was 260 lb (118 kg).

The design won Grand Champion Helicopter at the Popular Rotorcraft Association convention in 1994.
