I was browsing on Barnstormers the other day and just happened to notice quite a few rotorway exec helicopters for sale, and cheap! $35-60k
Is there something wrong with them? just wondering how you can get a used 2 seat helicopter cheaper than a used 2 seat gyro... Not that I am looking for a helicopter, But if I was going to drop serious coin on a 2 seat rotorcraft I would want something I might be able to insure.. _________________ It's never too late to be a bad example. I spent all my money on Bikes, Broads, and Booze, the rest I wasted. |

They are not really so to speak work horses. You don't see them flying around that much right?
There is a good reason for that. Not exactly a reliable engine in them. Very marginal. Not too many have taken on the task to make it right. There are a few fanatics but by time they upgrade to airworthy levels it's a shit load of money. Ask Don. I am sure it took him some time to put that turbine in there  Other than that I saw one for 12 K it had everything. I almost bought it _________________  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. |

Lots of work, I can put a turbine in one for $35 grand,
 But owners add puff & Bling Bling ( $$$$) & you can put in $100,000 in a kit  , But a flying nonwrecked Rotorway for $30 -$60 grand isn't bad,  Remove the belts & put a real engine,gear box etc & you'll have a real helicopter, If you keep the origanal stuff see about 100 to 150 hrs between maintenance.   It flys nice, but used issues will raise its ugly head. |
