Could this be the first one capable of pulling out of a hover?

Hasn't been flown yet. FAA just signed off on it on Monday.


=====================
FAA ISSUES AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE FOR TURBINE TOUCAN
Monday, April 2, 2007, 10:36 PM
Today is a VERY big day for the team at Infinity Entertainment. We've hit another big milestone with the issuing of the airworthiness certificate. This now officially clears the way for first flight. As of today, the aircraft is being disassembled and readied for trucking to Hollister California this Thursday. The aircraft will then be reassembled the following week. At the completion of the assembly, we'll be ready for first flight, which could happen as early as ten days from today's date!

We are extremely pleased with the continued progress; we continue to hit milestones on schedule with minimal delays.

Awesome!!!
I remember seeing the turbo raven at a show years back. Watching it hover was unforgetable. I can't wait to see this thing in the air!!

So who is going to produce an rc version?

Awesome! It sounds like they tackled the issue of keeping oil in the gearbox. "The Turbine Toucan?s powerplant employs a proprietary oil delivery system for prolonged vertical flight."
