As for me - there is no problem with V-belts to the tail at Rotorway. I deal
with these helicopters 5+ years and we have more than 20 helicopters
assembled here in Russia. To tell the truth, there were two accidents with
V-belts but these were due to improper service only. If serviced OK, V-belts
at Rotorway work OK without any doubt, never mind in hot or cool weather.
Another thing is that Rotorway is good flying machine, but it is such a problem
to keep it flying! It's good flying hobby device but that's not the right
choice if you want it to serve you - and vice versa, if you want to fly it, you
are to serve it!
This time we are starting with Safari (you can see our first at
http://galsaero.al.ru - we showed it at recent MAKS-2001 airshow in
Moscow) - let's see if it is better working horse.
