It was formerly produced by Safari Helicopter (formerly known as Canadian Home Rotors) of Ear Falls, Ontario. The design is reminiscent of a small-scale Bell 47 helicopter. In fact, the helicopter was originally called the Baby Belle, but Bell Helicopters objected and the name was changed to Safari. The Safari is a two-seat light helicopter with a bubble canopy, a two-bladed main rotor and a skid landing gear. The aircraft structure consists predominantly of welded 4130 chromoly steel tubing. The kit provides the main and tail rotors, rotor hubs, transmission, engine, cockpit and tailboom completed. Builder construction is largely assembly. Engine options over time have included the 160 hp (119 kW) Lycoming O-320-B2B, 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming O-360-C2C, the 160 hp (119 kW) Superior XP320 and the 180 hp (134 kW) XP360 engines.
