The ADI Bumble Bee is an Ultralight Gyrocopter , the first of its kind when it flew in 1983 and still available in plans form for Home-building . It was designed by Martin Hollmann after a back injury (sustained in the crash of the ADI Condor ) prevented him from flying his previous design (the ADI Sportster ) on account of not being able to lift the rotor assembly.
