Exactly! What I guess I was unable to convey in my earlier posts is that I do not fly ANYTHING unless I feel SAFE doing so. All aircraft have limits and all pilots have limits. I have seen certified aircraft that where piles of junk and not maintained well. I have seen experimental aircraft that are pristine. I think the Rotorway is a great design but it must be built properly, maintained, and flown within it's limits. If I did not feel safe flying my Rotorway I wouldn't.
