First prototype - de-registered as PWFU 8.7.2007. The M80 was designed in Belgium to offer as a kit build helicopter. Three further prototypes were built: c/n 02 & 03 both registered (as G-MASY & G-MASX) in June 1998 and cancelled by CAA on 28.4.2005; the fourth is reported as approved for ground running tests from mid 2001 to 4.2002. It is not shown on CAA registration records but reported as also wearing G-MASZ. Despite testing and modifications, the type 'failed to gain the appropriate certification' and no others were built.
