Honestly I think what killed him, in addition to being a poor manager, was the toy quad. I heard that the R&D and software design was very expensive.

So what’s the answer, just wait? Listen to more lies or sue?

Re: RotorX website is down
 

It is possible that the answer to all three is “no”. Probably the best answer is what Homer has suggested and what Nick and others are doing, build anyway.

Re: RotorX website is down
 

Love to build, but I was done over an year ago so I can’t do anything unless I get section 4.

Re: RotorX website is down
 

Yep. Same.

Re: RotorX website is down
 

Just curious to hear if anyone here has ever received a response from Chris Anderson, who is listed as “interim CEO” of RotorX. So far I’m zero for four attempts at contacting him at the email address given on the website.

Re: RotorX website is down
 

He wrote me back with basically the statement from the website. Time..investors..yadayadayada.

Re: RotorX website is down
 

Is there anybody left who thinks this dead company will ever send another part out again? I've been a fool hoping they would. The complete silence and total lack of any comms whatsoever from them has finally convinced me there is no hope for this scam called RotorX.

Re: RotorX website is down
 

No one in their right mind would invest in a company with so much debt, outstanding order commitments and bad publicity. When the contents of the factory are finally put up for auction, we need to see what is left and secure those jigs and templates.

Hello,

How does this impact Advance Tactics (located in Torrance, CA.) plan to build the ATRX-700 under the FAA's MOSAIC rule?

Re: RotorX website is down
 

Hi Michael - is that machine built off the Phoenix A-600 platform?

Re: RotorX website is down
 

Although almost certainly the ATRX-700 is vaporware (as has been everything Don has touched). But if I am wrong, they are welcome to my Phoenix frame, body, windscreen, rotorhead and tailrotor, all assembled and ready for their first vict.., err, customer.

Re: RotorX website is down
 

I will throw in mine fully assembled. May be they can build few engines and finish them. Got another email from Don, he says wait! I say B.S. If you look at the web site www.lightsporthelicopters.com, gets rejected by all the browsers. SO Advanced Tactics takes you to www.lightsporthelicopters.com, then broser fails.

Re: RotorX website is down
 

Hi John,
Yes, it is. When I read about it six months ago I thought it would be fantastic to get into a ready to fly helicopter for under 190K, but after everything that has taken place pretty sure that isn't going to happen.

I reached out to Advanced Tactics and inquired if they would be at HAI this year in Anaheim (I live one town over) if so I was going to go check it out. They never got back to me.

If something does ever come about with this I can drive over to Torrance and see about a demo flight. I'm not holding my breath :-)

Re: RotorX website is down
 

Take the test flight in Torrence. But let it be in a R22!
