The design and construction of this helicopter was started in the 1970s by Pierre Gibert. But not having enough space in his apartment, he sold the incomplete machine in 1997 to Paul Rigault who resumed work on it in 2000 and completed it. But it did not go further than the test stage. It used test registration F-WHRP and in Oct-2003 F-PHRP was reserved. In 2012 it was donated to the Musée Regional de l'Air, renamed Espace Air Passion in 2013. It has a 67hp Volkswagen engine.
