permison Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah, I saw this. Pretty exciting. I love Rotorway's aircraft. If they can get the price right this would really give Frank a run for his money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanic Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I said this years ago in a thread here on VR. Maybe they read the thread, lol.. I was thinking this might bridge the gap for commercial ops on the insurance side of things. Do your training in the Rotorway turbine, cfi in it to 600 or 700 hrs then the GOM or tours guys could take ya with 500 hrs PIC in a turbine for part 135?? Thoughts??

Goldy Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 That would be pretty cool, I would also think it could make a great long line trainer...Where do I sign!? Geez, an RR300 in a 2 seater? Talk about power to spare! 1,000 pounds on the hook in a 2 seater..cant wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The military pilots don't get in the door with less than a 1000. 700 in a homebuilt isn't gonna impress anyone. Get 1200 however you have to.
