That's A LOT of Sport Helos!
For those of you who have followed the rotary-winged aspect of
sport aviation, here is a milestone that can't but help to impress
you. RotorWay International has just sold the 800th Exec 162F
helicopter kit. The aircraft went to RotorWay International South
Africa, the newest representative for the company.
Richard Chase, the head of RI South Africa, has been
RotorWay’s representative for the last three months and in
that time has had a “tremendous amount of interest in the
Exec 162F”.
“We have been extremely busy attending exhibitions and
fly-ins, responding to the many inquiries from the Discovery Wings
series ‘A Chopper is Born’, working with magazines for
editorial coverage on the continent, and handling actual sales and
service,” says Chase.
“It’s been
quite an exciting start and even more so now that we have
contributed to RotorWay International’s 800th sale of an Exec
162F helicopter.”
According to Brent Marshall, VP Sales for RotorWay
International, “the Exec 162F continues to be the worldwide
leader in the kit helicopter industry. We’re very proud of
that”. The employee-owned company sells approximately 100
helicopter kits a year and has aircraft in over 52 countries around
the world.
RotorWay International, the world’s oldest and largest
manufacturer of kit helicopters, produces the award-winning Exec
162F. Located in Chandler, AZ, USA, they “can’t wait to
hit the 900th sold mark”, says Marshall. “Stay tuned
because there are a lot of exciting things ahead for this company
and our products.”
