It’s nowhere near the cheapest, it’s mostly the maintenance that’s cheap. Yearly costs are half that of an R22 and they come with avionics

Keep in mind the reason mainstream helicopters are so expensive this due to the certification process, that literally flat out doubles the cost of any aircraft on the market. Pound for pound the equipment r&d craftsmanship and time to build an r22 should put it at effectively no more than 120 to 150k, competitive with this helicopter if it weren't for the FAA's overreach

What type of maintenance(engine time before overhaul and max rotor time)….plus…would an helicopter mechanic need special training?

Dang, thats an incredible price! I was thinking twice as much.

Pay the money, but get no parts.....still a bargain???

I’m a A&P mechanic I work on helicopters and can make some up grades to the mosquito

I flew the factory 162F. I couldn’t get over the chain drive in an oil bath and multiple fan belts to drive the tail rotor. The pre-flight at that time was about 1 hr. I couldn’t see putting my family in anything less than a turbine helicopter.

Since they changed more than just the colour of one rivet does that mean that the UK CAA regard it as a totally new aircraft design?

any suggestions on any apps or anything to find small charter flights around the country?

😮 makes me want to get my helicopter license and buy one

That is a lot of helo for short money. Good video Bud. What is their safety record? It has nice lines too.

Their drive system looks about as strong as a mosquito but has 3 times the power. They have had issues with the old chain and even the new belt system snapping as well as drive shafts. The design from the beginning was very novice, not sure if the still have a belt running to the tail rotor.

New design has a drive shaft for the tail rotor. Not enough hours logged in the newer machines to know how much more reliable it is, but I'd definitely trust it more than the janky triple belt setup they used to have based on principle alone.

I’d buy one of these IF (and only if) it had a turbine engine.

A friend of mine has an older one of these and it's a handful to operate because everything is manually controlled. Not sure how much the newer electronics help but it seems like a very good deal for the money. I'd rather fly one of these than get in a Robinson that has the ability to mast bump in turbulence.

Great...any idea u have to monetize it ?

don’t know if I really want to sit in a helicopter with an engine that hasn’t been around much. I’ll rather go for a moschito or a CH-7 komoress Charlie 2

My dream was to have a Helicopter of my own since I was a kid, but once I researched and decided to get my sport pilot licese I am not looking back, I still would like a heli, but you really have much more fun and actual flight time in a Fixed wing, helis are cool, but hard to fly, heavy maintenance and not fun to fly, or so I have been told by helicopter pilots, these buggers dont want to fly so you really have to have your hands and feet always on the controllers

"Heavily discounted price" hint.

If I’m not mistaken, you can also get this helicopter already built, just contact their sales department about it.

Nobody touches a very touchy subject of flying small craft.... Code Brown.... in other words when the pilot or anybody else has to poop (think diarrhea) and there is no time to find a place to land.

Yooo that’s legit

New owner? So that guy that bought, built and flies it doesn't own it?

honestly it looks like what id expect to get if i brought a helicopter from allyexpress

I feel sorry for the people that lost their deposit because Rotor X just went bankrupt and your video only made it worst by peddling a company that knew was going bankrupt. Giving discounts while inflation is going up is a sign the company knew they are going out of business and tried to steal deposits from new buyers

Very cheap helicopter

Warning -Rotor-X has gone out of business failing to deliver paid for kits. In the last year, Rotor-X refused to provide parts or old kit boxes while demanding to sell only entire kits. There are a very large number of people who want nothing to do with Rotor-x. Give this video a Thumbs down and lets hope the new owner will be a lot better.
