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.


If a homebuilt is registered as "Homer162" or "JiminNC162f" as the
manufacturer, I don't understand how a 1,500hr airframe limit is gonna
be enforcable. The Rotorways are not considered the manufacturer's but
parts suppliers intead. Anyways, not many of them have more than
300hrs total and 80%+- of that 300 hrs is hovering and testing time
anyways, from what I hear.
