Mark, what a fantastic update! If you haven't added up the total hours from past rotorway employees I'm going to do it. I'm so glad the old talent and skills are back. They are a true asset to RX!

I added it up. 200+ years of past employee experience rehired on back by Rotor X. If that fact alone isn't impressive then I don't know what what else can impress.

I spoke to a handful of employees who had more than a decade and I asked why did they come back. They said it is because they love the company and how they have been taken care of both in the past as well as the present. More warm fuzzy feelings!

Re: RotorX Factory Tour May 2022

Mark,

Thank you for all you do and for the video. I am glad to see the fiberglass fabrication is now being done back in house. I think you mentioned specifically that the molds have been refurbished which I am sure was needed. I cannot wait to see the difference in quality if someone can post some pics of these new panels.

Thanks Clark

Re: RotorX Factory Tour May 2022

enjoyed the video indeed , very curious on the engine front to see what sort of performance numbers rotorx and joe huff manage on the normally aspirated unit
Mark , do you know off hand what sort of increase in cubic inches or displacement has been obtained from the crank mods to increase the stroke ??
