Hi to all,

 

Just joined today. Am in the process of looking into the pro and cons of building and flying a new Rotorway Talon 600, a major task that seems to require endless research to ascertain all the varying aspects, building, licensing, registration etc.

 

Guess I will be bugging a few of you all especially the Rotorwing guys.

 

Great to see the enthusiasm displayed throughout the site and look forward to intereacting and contributing where I can.

 

Hi to all.

 

Best Regards

A chopper is born is a great documentary on the building of the helicopter. Recommended

Hello Peter/fellow heli type, rightly or wrongly there is quite a lot of noise around the rotorway product and although it seems to have got better there is quite a lot of negative commentary. I went through the same process that you were going through to potentially buy and build a kit helicopter as I would love to own my own at some point but gave up as the risk appeared too high. Some of the single seater Helis have a much better reputation but I fly a lot to share the experience and although it would be fun the limited range of the one seaters is also a problem.

 

Here is some of the content that I was referring to that put me off:
