To clear things up -
I have a waiver for A&P if i ever want one one...
Plus, none is needed for your own "experimental".
(I am sure you know that )
My labor is sort of free, (my hobby)
I have owned one other Rotorway. (sold)
Your memory of my previous threads is better then mine! LOL
(But i have all most no short term at all )..LOL
I could NEVER afford a store bought helicopter , their ADs, their parts, would break me in one hour !
Like said "Military and big big Corporate only" can afford the real deal...
Experimental - One has the latitude to change anything you dont like.....not confined to any particular format.
I am not too keen on a belt tail rotor drive....A drive shaft seems a lot more simpler.
The R.W engine is crap.....all have problems.
They should have used a out side Vendors and spent the cash on a real transmission. !
How ever...its a decent air frame with flyable characteristics.....
PS secondary seems to last till about the 200 hour mark according to those that know . (Homer bell)
