I have a nearly completed Rotorway JetExec turbine available for sale for $90,000. Are you looking for a project?

who owns kiss aviation ?

[hillberg100]

Steve landed at a D.A of 9500 ft in California, as for the Eagle its stillborn the RR guys say nothings happening,The nice things about Experimentals you can fix the designs short commings, & to think it started with the RotorMouse and Don Hillberg meeting with Dave Domanski in Corona Ca.

can 2 people fit in this heli?

[mannhorn34]

To bad they never tried to improve the body. It is so flimsy especially around the doors.

[airkraftinc]

The are now offering the Rotorway Eagle with a new body design and turbine engine. I don't see Rotorway redesigning the body of the 162F this far into production. This task will probably fall to an owner/ builder as an aftermarket modification, if this happens at all.

[mannhorn34]

@airkraftinc ....I know, Just saying. I remember my father bringing me to work and I would sit up on his bench watching him build the first versions of the Executive. It was so cool going from the Scorpion to this.

[nguyentuan1990]

where can i buy one of these?

[airkraftinc]

I have them for sale from time to time.

[germany2010ful]

[airkraftinc]

[alanbstard4]

Respond to this video...

whats the best 2 seat copter with the longest range most only seem to have a 2-3 hour endurance

[airkraftinc]

Helicopters in general are intended for relatively local operation. If you need to go cross country you might want to consider an airplane. If you've been flying a helicopter for three hours you'll want to land for a break. This is probably why most helicopters are designed in the 2 to 3 hour endurance range. You could add more fuel to the JetExec, but it is not recommended for gross weight considerations.

I just finished watching the discovery channel where a guy built one of the piston kits. The performance was quite good, with a turbine it would be excellent. Nice job

[22josta]

Actually been looking at a Rotorway or two..Cannot decide what i wanna do. have a bunch of R22 time. How wold you rate their reliablity/safety? And im unsure of piston or Turbine..??????

[airkraftinc]

You can't beat the turbines for ease of maintenance and reliability.

[BrassAxe]

Is there a gearbox going to the original belt clutch system? Or is there a gearbox with it's own system to attach to the main shaft?

[airkraftinc]

The KISS conversion uses a geared transmission that does away with the belts of the piston version.

[BrassAxe]

Can I install this kit myself? Or would that void any warranty..

[pianokid989]

Yes, you can build this yourself. It's in the amature built category.

[philipetheridge]

Rotorway Exec is much nicer to fly than R22. Autorotation is better. Wait for certified Talon to give R22 a run for it's money.

[airkraftinc]

The JetExec is a sweet conversion for the Rotorway. I highly recommend the turbine over the piston.

[alanbstard4]

@philipetheridge I can imagine it being nicer to fly than the R22. I wonder if the turbine will price it out of competition though, or is the turbine comparible to R22 in running costs?

[malcauskas7]

Great! I never see one this, is firt time, very cool!

[miketacoma5]

"real pilot's license". Now that's funny.

[clintcollins]

man these are beautiful helicopters, why can't Robinson make there R22's and 44's look much better and more like this??? how do these fly in comparison to an R22??? thanks

[airkraftinc]

If you can fly a Rotorway, you'll have no trouble with the R22. They are very close in feel.

[TEXWAKE]

If you do not know turbines can you build this kit as easy as the orginal piston kit??

[airkraftinc]

The JetExec is easier to build than the piston version.

[notar1]

it would not be wise to fly without some kind of instrucions

[airkraftinc]

I've seen several Rotoway helicopter that have been rolled in the first 10 hours due to lack of proper training.

[notar1]

not suprised to hear that..

[miketacoma5]

I doubt there's any rotorcraft that doesn't require a certificate....including autogyros.

[20144628]

Must you have a real pilot License for helicopters?

[scott98390]

Yes. You must have a pilot license to fly a rotorway.

[LEGANCW]

wow how much...

[airkraftinc]

I can build for about $100K complete

[alanbstard4]

@airkraftinc 100k. Excellent. I should be better than an R22, with I presume giving you more time to enter autos
