i thing you have possibly opened a hornets nest here in the uk and upset a few people
there are quite a few very experenced helicopter pilots flying rotorways there is an examiner and ex mil pilot who owns and flys one ,as well as lots of others
The problem with homebuilt helicopters is that the very market they are aimed at - those who can't afford to fly something more expensive - are those who shouldn't be flying them. Only because they don't have the experience
