awesome toy Abe! Is that an r22?
abe

It's a rotorway 162
It's a bit older but only has just over 2000 hours on it with a freshly rebuilt engine
Really good for a starter and that's all I can afford. I had been looking at single prop float plane but I decided on the heli because you can really access a lot more lakes with it, you don't need as much room for landing/ takeoff. Also the added bonus with the rotorway is it just uses pump gas 91 or higher so I'll be saving my money on fuel costs.

Wow!!! your gonna have a blast with that baby!!!

what type of power plant does it have?
abe

It's called an RI 16f 4 cylinder I'm not sure the displacement but it's fairly small considering that it puts out 150 hp

what is your background in aviation Abe?

Well, that's a whole new level of dedication right there...

Jimmy I have no background in aviation, I've been wanting a small aircraft for awhile now I had been looking at single engine light aircraft and I found a smoking deal on this heli. I'm going to be doing my flight training at Langley airport and I still have to book my radio course.

great stuff Abe, very interesting. Keep us posted on your
efforts. Langley Airfield is a fun place, I visited the museum not to long ago, and thoroughly enjoyed my day.
