Beautiful setup... Love the EFIS...! Your touch control tells me you've been a rotor-wing guy for quite a while.... Thanks for posting a VERY nice Vid... Gordon in Maryland... (soloed in the OH-23 back in the Spring of '68 at Ft Wolters...)
I really want one of these! Question, how comes the PIC sits on the left? I thought that was only in fixed wing aircraft but I've noticed everyone sits on the left in these?
The early Helos were mostly military and the radios were in the center console. Kinda hard to fly with the right hand on the cyclic and dial radios with the left if you're on the left side.
Very nice flight & the digital instrument panel is fantastic. Thanks for sharing! That helicopter seems to have plenty of power with the turbine, is that the de-rated Rolls-Royce engine?
pascal Perrouin You are so fortunate to own that helicopter, power,beautiful aircraft & it is yours! I just flew my first helicopter two months ago, a Schweizer 300 CBi I loved the feeling of controlling it in flight. Hovering it of course is tough for the first time, but I knew that from flying radio controlled helicopters for 12 years. But I did fairly well in the hover with a 10 M.P.H. sidewind. I hear it takes about 10 hours of hovering to get it into perspective. I have a short 5 minute video on my channel of me hovering if you would like to see how I did. Thanks for sharing your video in flight, I enjoyed it! Keep sending them up, please!
My goodness, this is such a gorgeous aircraft. Would love to see more videos.

Thank you Gordon
Beautifully done!
Авиагоризонт включать надо во время взлета. Веселая погремушка.
How did you get that interior to look so good? Did you do it yourself or have a upholster shop do it?
I really want one of these, I’m 52 next week I think it’s time.
Michael it is never too late but do not let the dream stay a dream !

You can fly either seat but left is more logical ,circuit pattern are on the left for example

Thank you for your comments . It is a solar turbine engine with plenty of power

Now that’s a mustache!
Nice rotor balance, just watched a crash video where the balance was so bad it should not have been flying, and crashed.
Nice looking Rotorway. What instruments do you have in your panel? Where are you located?
I used MGL EFIS and I am located at Brisbane Australia
Looks nice. I like the compact glass panel. Curious about your fuel burn rate, pretty good i'd imagine.
Chris , the fuel burn is 60 litre per hour
Beautiful flying,are you using FADEC ???Do you have throttle governor ??
+stealhty1 Thanks for your comment ,the turbine is drive by electronic governor
So the answer to stealthy ‘s question is “no”
It's actually "yes" to both questions.... @@TimToussaint
How fast can you cruise in these??
That's a great console, how much for a Rotaway like this Helicopter and can you fly a Rotaway on a recreational License or do you neded a HPL?
Hi Joel
You need a PPl (H)and a turbine endorsement , Rules may change with different country
I live Brisbane and have flown a R22 before.
Any chance to come for a flight in the Rotaway, willing to pay for fuel?
Joel
The worst part about watching these videos is the guys are always much older then 50. Looks like another 30 years of waiting.
No mate, 30 years of working your arse off.
Are you still flying your Rotorway?
I do need some parts but until recently the factory was out of business but now thing change and I should be able to maintain again
