Helicom Inc

The Helicopter Research Company was founded by Harold E. Emigh in the early 1950s to build a single-seat, ultra-light conventional helicopter for amateur construction using either plans of kit – the H-1 Commuter Junior.
By 1963 the company had been renamed Helicom Inc and was based at Long Beach, California.

Harold Emigh Sr, a 15,000 hr fixed-wing pilot, taught himself to fly helicopters in the H-1 Commuter Junior.
