Keith Baker one of the RotorX guys, bought a 162F and had it at Jim Hardy's gathering in Texas last week. BTW, had several RW's there flying and enjoying great weather the whole week. RW's are alive and flying without factory any factory support because there are too many owners out there and people are stepping up and supplying all needed parts.
Joe Huff is supplying new engines with more HP. Robin and Chris are still selling parts. I have blades, pitch pins, aligner block bearings, elastomeric bearings now, so there's really no excuse to not finish a machine if your willing to say it's a 162F and not an A600 or what ever.
Keith is working on getting his rating and is having mnore trouble with his flying than the machine, it's still running fine. we have another instructor we're breaking in who has more time in Robbies than RW's, so we have to train him. He's in Tenn. and is willing to travel some. He was busy at Jim's giving a few guys instruction. He's still instructing like the RW is a Robbie and don't understand the difference and how forgiving our machine is. We don't have to slam the collective down like the Robbie does when entering the auto. We'll get him trained.
