RS Gyroplanes are proud to be the appointed distributers for the ELA series of gyroplanes for both the United Kingdom and Ireland. The current model,the ELA 0-7 is a superb example of brilliant design and well-proven engineering. Geometrically it closely resembles our other favbourite,the VPM Ml 6 and is therefore suberbly stable and very easy to fly. The choice of engine is either 912s or 914-The frame is made entirely of stainless steel whilst the pod and tailplane is of carbon fibre construction for both lightness and strength. The rotor is also composite with a well-proven aerofoil section producing lots of lift. The blade is also of high momentum,therefore retaining rotor speed over a wide spectrum of the flight envelope. The aircraft has a maximum take off weight of 450 KG,making it very easy to insure for both aircraft and passengers.

The ELA has recently gained full type certification in Spain as a factory-built ultralight gyroplane and the UK CAA have just announced that it is prepared to accept the ELA 0-7 on a 'National Approval' basis,which means that,subject to discussions with the Spanish DGAC(CAA),the CAA hope to be able to approve the ELA for flight here in the UK...

RS Gyroplanes would be happy to make arrangements for anyone who would like to visit ELA Aviacion for several days flying in the Spanish sun at their base at Fuento Oberjuna,Near Cordoba-As some of these photos show,the scenery around Fuento Oberjuna is very pretty.
