Hope you have a lot of fun with it.  Max, Actually, my last helicopter took less maintenance than my Baron did. I have been following the Helicycle for the last 10 years. The guy that had the first one to fly is going through mine to make sure it is ready to go. I have been also in talks with a guy that has been flying his for 2 years now. He claims that the Helicycle requires much less maintenance than his gyroplanes. There are also some machines with over 1000 hours on them. The turbine is the reason. Dirt simple single stage centrif compressor. I'm ashamed to post a picture as it is so ugly. I wanted to wait until I had it repainted, but I will post if you promise not to laugh
