A series of public exhibitions, using scale remote controlled flying models of the Helipod to demonstrate its flight characteristics will begin in Japan early next year. Demonstrations are scheduled to coincide with Helipod executives returning to Japan early next year upon completion of the current testing program. Models are being made both in the United States and Japan. The first full scale Japanese prototype is expected to fly next summer.

It will be the single passenger Helipod S.C. (Sports-Civilian). Larger, more powerful multi-passenger versions for family or commercial transport will follow. Most people can learn Helipod operation in minutes due to simple design, according to Mr. Sudrow.

In addition to pleasure, sport and leisure flying, Helipod will serve many useful commercial, industrial, governmental and private purposes. It will provide speed and safety for the rural doctor, eliminating the delays and dangers of unsafe or blocked highways. Fitted with chemical tanks and spray heads, farmers will use Helipods for low cost crop dusting and for spotting stock and dropping food during winter months Life guards can patrol larger beach areas. Emergency units can function faster and save more lives in case of disaster. Heli-pod's low initial cost and low operating expenses will be very attractive to the municipal, county, state and federal governments and taxpayers.

Further details of Helipod's construction and flight principles will be released at the discretion of the board of directors of the Japanese holding company. CLIP AND MAIL TO THE HERALD, BLASDELL, N. Y. Box 1968, 129 Lake Avenue. Blasdell 19, N.
