People are stuuuuupid. I have been looking at a 162 lately. It's just that I am too big to fit into these things......  _________________  A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension.

.
Update from the pilot .... he did text his mom but it was before he took off .... as to cause of the crash ... (quote) I am not really sure the cause as of yet, but the consensus so far is the elastomeric bearings. I was at the end of a 15 minute flight and just lined up for my approach. When I started to descend there was a slight push on the cyclic from right to left. The force became stronger by the second and now I was fighting to keep the helicopter straight while descending. The last thing I can remember is the cyclic popping out of my hand. Witnesses said I was approximately 20-30' agl when the helicopter turned hard left. He said he was knocked unconscious but no broken bones or serious injuries . |

What's up with the rotorways? Every time I see one it is on it's side?
Seriously, they look good but they seem to crash a lot. _________________ It's never too late to be a bad example. I spent all my money on Bikes, Broads, and Booze, the rest I wasted. |

Mostly engine trouble..... They don't fly much unless you put a freaking turbine in them.
Now that's a nice setup!!!! _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant! A simple thank you would have been enough for the morning coffee without all that "how did you get in here" nonsense. |

the Rotorways have always looked nice, but man they have a lot of issues. when I was building my Scorpion I was on the Rotorway owners Forum alot, and honestly I was suprised at all the issues they had. |
