gyrotyro,

Sorry to correct you, but the new Rotorway Talon isn't built to certified a/c standards.

While the new owners have stated they intend to pursue full certification, this would be impossible to US or UK standards without starting almost from scratch.
(Still, an R22 wouldn't pass the standards now, it'd need a rotor re-design to give a 2-3 second dwell time instead of the deathly 1 second it currently has)


All that's not to say the Rotorway isn't a great kit helicopter, it's possibly the best.

Go for a fly in one, and you could be hooked.

Best,

Steve
