Belgian company Masquito is to begin static tests of their M80 lightweight helicopter - an uprated version of the original two-seat M58. The M80 has the 105kW (80hp) four-stroke Jabiru engine, replacing the 43kW two-stroke Rotax in the M58 - which has now been dropped. The original plans were to replace the Rotax 518 with the more-powerful Rotax 618 in series production, although this idea was abandoned.
