Dougie,
I believe abinitio training is now possible on the Rotorway but,,, I would strongly advise learning in a Robbie and then the type rating after words.
I fly the only Rotorway in Scotland and have put around 150 hours on my own machine over the last four years.
The Rotorway has many attractions but also needs a fair bit of understanding especially concerning inertia and power.
If you want to chat about the pros and cons please let me know ,my heli G-WHOO is based in Fife .
Cheers,
JDB
