Hi Orv,
Just a short note to let you know I truly miss our training sessions. Wish I had the money to do another 100 hrs with you. You're a fantastic instructor. A sincere thanks to all you taught me. It was intense.
Can't wait to read your next article.

This web site is for the enjoyment of anyone interested in the fabulous experience of building and learning to fly your own helicopter. The Rotorway Helicopter has been the doorway for thousands of pilots to enter the world of rotory wing flight.

I began my helicopter flight experience by taking my first flight in a Rotorway helicopter and I was hooked. I purchased a kit, built my ship, got proper helicopter flight training, and now have made it my carreer to assist others in following their similar dreams.

The photo below shows Jeff Bocott of Gig Harbor Washingtom standing next to his very rare Rotorway Elete. Jeff's Elete is one of only 4 ever built as I recall. Jeff's Elete is the only Elete flying today.

Jeff has carefully upgraded his Elete to have the latest of modern Rotorway Components. This body design loves speed and is typically 30 kts faster than the standard Rotoray 162F.
The above photo shows Jeff and Orv while doing some flight training at the Tacoma Narrows Airport in Gig Harbor, WA (Home of the famous Galloping Gerty Bridge).
Above: One of Orv's students after he landed from his fist solo helicopter flight in his Rotorway 162F. Bill built his Rotorway with Orv's help and then learned to fly in it. Bill is now a rated helicopter pilot and regularly flies his Rotorway helicopter in the Caraway, AR area..
