Silhouette #6238 and photo #6241
I think that for the record we should call this heli by its true name, the Clybouw CW-205 (sometimes CW-105F) . It was designed and built (in the mid-1970s) in BELGIUM by Willie Clybouw. The role of Vortech is that it started offering the type for amateur construction during the 2000s.
As far as I know the prototype in Belgium never really flew.

Evening Skytrain,
I see what looks like a wing-fold line, so is it the Morane-Sulnier MS-560?
The photo of the prototype I found doesn't seem to show this fold line and a photo of one with wings folded looks like the wider two seat 570, so it may be one of the later single seat variants 561-564?

Evening SincoTC.
You've got it
its the MS.560 folding wing single seat trainer of 1945. Just the one aircraft produced, which is pictured below. The reference in Flight was its appearance at the 1946 Paris Air Salon.
(although the caption on the picture shows MS.530, F-WBBB is recorded as an MS.560 on the French register)
You have the con.
