Did something happen to mark
We lost him in a crash at Oshkosh.@@joshc7091

R.I.P. Mark. I was so sorry to learn of the accident at Oshkosh. He was a great pilot!
It was really considerate of the Owner Pilot to allow the video to be shown, and its appreciated.
I am particularly impressed with the thoroughness, calming and encouraging manner of the Instructor Pilot, and the radio update transmissions.
Gentle guidance, advice, and communication was outstanding, and a real pleasure to see.
I'm very pleased to have found this channel and to have subscribed.
Always wanted something like this beautiful looking helicopters I really like the A600 design they did a great job designing this helicopter
Love this vid. Reminded me of my instructor when I learned to fly a helo 40 years ago. Excellent training technique! Hovering was so hard at first, but then something clicked, I settled down and became a hover lover for life.
Mark, I have a new A600 on order, first deliver is set for May. I purchased it sight unseen after watching videos here on UA-cam. Seeing that you have a new model, it would be great to see a thorough walkthrough video of the ship, glass cockpit, and any tips or tricks used during the build. I’m running out of videos to watch, lol
Thanks much, I really enjoyed this video and could spend hours watching them
I do have plans for something like that. When I can get the time is the big question. Definitely more videos in the works.
yes I second this. A full walk-through letting us know what standard what is optional with aftermarket etc. would be really great
@@AirMark THANK YOU
I wish somebody made a decent (semi) fully articulated rotor system on these UL helicopters...profit margins and sacrificing safety should not be the answer...
I was wanting to get a new one but i dont have the time to put it together. Does anyone put the kits together?
i visited Rotorway and flew an A600 in the spring of 2019. The price then was around $108K. I was ready to buy in early 2020 and when I checked the price it had jumped to $150k which was above my budget which was tight at 108K. So, I switched gears and bought a RANS S-21 kit. Then a year or so later, the kit price was back down to closer to 100K again. Oh well, I’m having great fun building the S-21 even though it will take much longer to build than an A600.
👍
Your instruction technique reminds me of an instructor I had MANY years ago 🙂 I soloed(fixed wing) 08-08-1968 if that gives you an indication of my age 🙂
Very good hover, seen the improvement in just that lesson
Thanks Mark (and Owner!). Looks like she flies nicely. I love the blue. I plan to do the same with mine someday.
It's just anothers Rich man's Toy.nothing more.
The blue stinks (well okay, I didn't actually smell it).
Mark, Great video. It was amazing to fly with you a few months ago and I can't wait to see you at the next get-together. My kit arrives in a month and I can't wait to get started!
Awesome video and instruction as always Mark! Don’t stop making them, just cause I sold mine I still love to watch you fly them!
Wow so happy to find this video Mr. Mark I been looking for you I’m here in Jackson, al and I have a thousand questions.😂😂
Brilliant video and two gentlemen 👌👍☘️
Thank you for the video.
Thanks Mark just bought my kit should be here in August. If I need help you is the best to contact. Live in Ogden UT
Finally, a drive shaft driven tail rotor system.
Rotorway Jet Exec was shaft driven from 1995
Those toys would make good size RC helicopters. No live pilot forget it
please use a painted square in the grass so that the trainees can use as reference when practicing the landing approach, with and open fild like that with no point of reference is kind of receiving.
Nice job Mark, Haven't seen you for a while looking good..
Hey Vince, Yes all is well, just older. Left Florida about 18 years ago.
GREEEEEEAT VIDEO!!!!
This model left the Mosquito Swift on the drawing board.
Awesome machine.... great video. where abouts are you in Alabama? I"ll have to check yawl out sometime. keep making these videos... thumbs up.
Anyone else have only mono audio? My stereo headset had sound in only the left earphone.
One question,which part of it make the helicopter move forward?
If you're in Arizona the oil and water temp would be up in 30 seconds.
What do professional heli Pilots think of the Rotorway Heli's. Retired after 33 years as a heli pilot.
I want to get this helicopter 😁
Looks like that helicopter is VERY shaking and unstable / uncomfortable to fly in?? It looks amazing, definitely my favorite 2 seater when it comes to looks, but when I hear this man's voice it sounds like he's been held and shaken by Arnold Schwarzenegger while he's talking??? Is it really as bad as it seems?
Still has a tail rotor turning the "Wrong" direction...
are these carburated or fuel injected?
2022 drone technology and we are still fighting with the helicopter like its the 1950's.
Thats the point. Some people may like the style of piloting the helo, some the classic look. Not everyone is embracing the "new" technologies and as a matter of fact some detest the rush to change everything and the "out with the old and in with the new" mentality.
FADEC... so, there's no coordinated throttle adjustment with collective (i.e. twist-up, twist-down)? COOL!!! One less monkey skill to worry about (unless, however... can the pilot practice a simulated emergency FADEC failure?). Besides autos, what other simulated emergencies can a pilot practice with the Phoenix?
Bravo
How does this fly compared to a R22?
R22 goofy looking thing i don't like, this one looks better and more stylish.

Ok, who you trying to impress? Takin out your girlio?
Which simulator were you guys referring to?
Which Simulator is he talking about? Near the end there was quite a bit of talk about a simulator. Just curious!
Air frame is retired after 2000 hrs
Is this true
Yes, the airframe is retired at 2000 hours. To my knowledge, I do not know of an RotorWay airframe that has accumulated that many hours. I have heard one the factory trainers around 2003 was nearing 1800 hours. I never heard after that if it went to 2000. In addition, I do not know of any RotorWay owner who has passed 1000 hours, except for my personal helicopter. It is now just over 1100 hours after 20 years.
We need to understand a personal helicopter such as the RotorWay flown for flight training and sport flying will not accumulate flight hours like a personal fixed wing airplane. Most RotorWay owners after they have completed their flight training will fly 30 to 50 hours a year. So 2000 hours is a long time.
Underneath the wires?
can you fly that in the rain, stormes?
...tornado, hurricane, tsunami?
.
Attitude indicator is useless or needs calibration. Horizon line hidden in cruise?
How far are you from FT. Rucker? Thnx
Looks like about 3 hours or 168 miles.
@@AirMark thanks, I didn’t realize this was the same UA-cam channel that posted from Lebanon, TN in the other video. Where is your home station, Florida? Asking to find a RotorX certified instructor pilot nearby. I’m in North, MS.
Hey Harley D, My homebase hangars are located at Collier AirPark 2AL1 in South Alabama. I am a RotorWay/RotorX CFI and Kit Distributor.
@@AirMark thanks 👍 good to know. Spanish Fort area, so not that far.
is the "Experimental" label required for these types of experimental aircraft ? it has such a negative connotation for the public that reads it and doesn't know the exact meaning...ie...[its not a real aircraft/helicopter bacause its only built as an experiment]....type of interpretaion by the general public.
I heard you say you were hovering about Altimeter pressure 31 in, and that was your takeoff and climb power for a normal takeoff. About how much more power did you need to do the max performance takeoff?
The turbo powerplant allows for a maximum of 40 inches of manifold pressure. Typically, at gross weight the helicopter will require 29 to 31 inches to hover. The maximum performance in this video used 35 inches for the departure. The turbo boost is 2 to 3 PSI.
@@AirMark Thanks. Exactly the information I was looking for.
Go to Trenton FL and get one for $35,000 from the factory.
one of this?
@@lcfflc3887
Nooooo.
Whats the cost for this one
Purdy penny.
But u posted more often
No matter camera anghel !! It’s a small box hard to enjoy to operate…. Unless you’re 5 feet tall. Or less. Yea is cheaper. But how about safer ?? Like r 22. Crapy.
Rotorway 's scorpion 133 is the best look for a helicopter. These copters are nice looking, but are cookie cutter. Sorry, just my opinion.
All you do is go up hover for 5 min. And refuel again. Repeat that till time tbo is up …. Just not there yet. Nobody has the guts to take it like 1500 ft up or 2000. For a say 100 mi distance ?? No way. It stays in you garage and admire. Hmm.
Idk I mean you'd have to use it for your leisure flying or taking people up for quick 1 hour scenic flights. Pretty small cabin.
Man hört nur auf einer Seite
you only have one on one side.
Great looking ship; terrible paint scheme.
Your waisting time. Money. People are impressed. Nu really is so different. That toy kills. Simple the quality of moving part mechanically it’s a joke ., expensive as hell. Can’t compare with real deal…. All that unit should not cost more than 10 k. Out the door installed fly ready …
Too bad the range is pathetic.
Yuh, like 170 feet (Oh, I meant miles)
❤️❤️❤️
