Back in the "old days," the only helicopter kit was from Rotorway, which...
...after a few company transitions, is now known as RotorX. Their kit is a little over $100K, which is in the neighborhood of their earlier kit. Thought it was a really nice, well thought out kit plane (helicopter). Everything is included, so there's no sourcing of anything required.
