Good Day All -
I am presently sorting thru a collection made up mostly of magazine clippings - definitely pre-internet! - but there are some real gems throughout the collection. Don't know what magazine this is from - kind of reminds me of Air Progress - but don't recall seeing this design before so a bit of searching ensued. Redbackaviation .com had more on the design from Doug Hillman wih Rudolph Enstrom:
Hillman Model 360 – 1981 – 205hp Avco Lycoming HIO-360-C1A; load: 1100lbs; speed: 130/115/0; range: 560miles; service ceiling: 15,000′; construction: 10/15/81. Rudy Enstrom. Fiberglass shell, fiberglass blades with stainless-steel leading edges, metal airframe. Quantity built: 1 [N9360M]. Optional equipment included spray rig, cargo and stretcher racks, floats
Sadly, Hillman and his son were killed by a drunk driver and the 360 design/development was abandoned.
Enjoy the Day! Mark
