Re: Newbie requests info re: Rotorway

If all you want to do is LEARN to fly a helicopter, then I suggest
that you check out any number of good flight schools.  They average
around $200/hr with some as low as $165 for an R22.

The rotorway is a good ship, but like any homebuilt, its only as good
as they guy building it.  New and unbuilt, they are around $65K, used,
around $30K.  For $30K you could probably get your commercial heli
rating and have plenty left over for the celebration.
