	RotorWay Company History - Evolution of a Helicopter
		It is the culmination of thirty-three years of perseverance, progress in design and engineering development, resolute determination against the odds, tireless dedication, and genuine, hard work by a group of people who believe in the company's mission: to provide the rotorcraft customer worldwide with a safe, affordable way to experience their dream of helioflight.
		Of all the systems available for propulsion, RotorWay chose what had proven to be one of the most efficient systems and paralleled the design also used on most light commercial helicopters at the time: a standard main rotor with a tail rotor to counteract the torque.
		RotorWay International was also the first to provide a complete and detailed construction and maintenance video series for the amateur builder in order to assure the proper construction and maintenance of each customer's aircraft.

	Rotorway Scorpion Too
		Potential pilots usually had to undergo training in normally certified helicopters before moving on to a self-guided course developed by RotorWay for the Scorpion series.
		The first was the two-seat Scorpion 133 that utilized a 133 hp RotorWay engine, which came with a turbocharger option.
		Further versions of the RotorWay Exec are still in production and remain highly popular in the experimental category aircraft market.

	Story
		I'll take you through RotorWay's entire program, all the way from ordering the promo package, to building the machine, to flight school at RotorWay, to flying the ship once we get her rigged and ready to go.
		RotorWay's maintenance manuals are excellent, and when followed correctly, they are well within commercial standards in regard to replacing parts long before fatigue or failure.
		Was RotorWay ready for a guy like me? I did have one significant advantage over most people, although some may scoff at this: As I mentioned earlier, I had been flying radio controlled helicopters for a few years.

	Rotorway Exec 162F: any opinions?
		The pilots that Iï¾’ve spoke with said great things about Rotorway helicopters, however, you have to keep in mind that these are military trained pilots all of which have experience in maintenance, engines, aerodynamics, etc that is at a higher level than a lot of civilian pilotsï¾not all but more than most.
		Most Rotorway accidents are not reported to the NTSB since many pilots are not licensed and often fly out of farms and other remote locations therefore NTSB only reflects a subset of the accidents.
		Several of them and Rotorway themselves are on record as saying they assume that MOST Rotorway owners will only put a few hours per year on their helicopters and this justifies the less than aircraft quality design and testing.

	RotorWay Turbine Conversion Gearbox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The tailrotor drive subsystem consists of a series of vibration-optimized small shafts and support bearings for the tailcone, and a 90° drive gearbox to which the existing Rotorway tailrotor components attach.
		We are currently working on an accurate computer model of the Rotorway airframe, in order to (a) provide an analysis of the stress and deflection (FEA) on the airframe, and (b) finalize the design of the gearbox and main rotor drive housings.
		By increasing the efficiency of the compressor, we can substantially reduce the engine BSFC (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption, Engine Technology section) and, with the torque-management in our control system, make it possible to flat-rate the engine in order to provide rated (150) HP at higher density altitudes.

	RotorWay Engine Concerns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Early in our research into RotorWay helicopters, we were surprised to discover that operators are required, by factory instructions, to do an extensive valve train inspection and adjustment procedure every 25 hours of operation.
		We were even more surprised to discover that the RW engine uses solid lifters and lash caps in the valve train.
		The additional benefit which a proper combustion chamber would provide is a significant increase in detonation margin, which would yield more power and greater reliability at the same time (a truly rare combination).

		I received the first half of the kit in September, which included the welded chrome-moly steel tubing frame, aluminum tail boom and stabilizer fins, all of the interior and exterior fiberglass, windscreen and doors, and the main rotor mast and controls.
		While I was building my kit, several other RotorWay owners were beginning to replace their factory 162F piston engine with a military surplus jet turbine engine.
		Their conversion kit and the jet turbine engine replaces all of the RotorWay engine, chain and belt drive systems with a very reliable turbine engine and solid direct-drive components.
