Magni M18 Spartan
Magni M-18 Spartan 2000
The 1998 version of the M-18 Spartan had an airframe of welded squar-section 4130 steel tube. The fairing was optional.
Simpler to build than the other models, the M-18 is a single-seat autogyro made of the same steel airframe from the other models. Its smaller, 65-hp Rotax 582 engine delivers only a slightly reduced top speed of 105 mph. Available open or partially enclosed.
The millennium model M-18 is provided with the Rotax 582 engine (65hp) with standard dual carburetors, "E" gearbox electric start and exhaust silencer. Other standard equipment includes altimeter, airspeed indicator, rotor tachometer, engine tachometer, hobbs hour meter, water temperature gauge, prerotator, rotor brake, wheel brakes, landing light, wheel pants, manual cockpit trim control and 30 litres fuel capacity.
