Design and development
The XJ01 is a development of the Guépard AX 02 that was designed by Xavier Averso in the 1980s and first offered as plans in 1987. Tilquin decided not to publish plans and instead offer the updated version as a kit, starting in 2011. The kit provided by Guépard II Team included the fuselage frame but did not include the rotor system, propeller, engine or instruments.[1]
The company seems to have gone out of business at the end of 2015 and kit production ended.[2]
