Rotarway vs. Robinson?
First off guys can you tell me which is better? I'm assuming Robinson because that is what 80% of flight schools use to teach students. What is wrong with Rotarway? Is it because they are an experimental aircraft and aren't assembled by a factory? I found a 2001 Rotarway Exec. 162-F Helicopter for sale. Its only got 46 TT. I'm assuming TT stands for "Total Time"??? When looking at a used helicopter what are low hours and what are high hours? Why or why not rotary? They are a lot cheaper than Robinson. I do recall a failur rate with Rotarway though. What are your guys' thoughts on these two aircrafts? Also can someone explain the different kinds of Robinson R22's and R44's such as the R22 Alpah, R22 Betta and the R22 Beta II. Also what about the R44 Astro, R44 Clipper, R44 Clipper II and the R44 Raven? Any bad things about the Mariners? I live on a lake and thought that would be cool. Wish I could afford a robinson.
BTW, I have decided to finish school or go as long as I can if I don't finish it and get my private license up here in NY to see if I like it. After I am done with college I will then go on to flight school. Does anyone know of any place in NY or PA to get your private license? Thank you to everyone who helped me. I can't wait to join you guys in the sky. Take care.
