For a long time I drove by Rotorway in Chandler, AZ daily and would see
them flying all the time. I'd also see them at most of the AZ fly-ins.
No direct experience but from what I've seen and heard they are
towards "less peril" end of the scale.

One thing for the OP to remember, is that the rotoway has an airframe
total
life of 1500 hours. After that, the airframe is junk. I don't know about
the safari.

The Rotorways seem to be the best designed kit helicopters, but I think
"Best kit helicopter" goes in the same category as "friendliest NAZI". The
guys in the hangar next door to me have built, bought, converted, sold,
and/or owned 5 Rotorways, and all total, I've seen the skids off the ground
probably 10 minutes or less. They used to trailer them to fly-in's under 50
miles away.
