Well folks I am in my final stages up mentally giving up on advantages of owning airplanes versus the hassles of dealing with the very shaky future in regards to building or renting hangars on government owned airports.
Coming now to the reality of personal yet high performance helicopters as being the practical solution to keeping airplane like speeds, but getting loose of the hassles of government airports.
My history amounts to making my living operating helicopters, and owning and flying airplanes for recreation. I must know I believe try to design helicopters in which I could do both and at the same time become totally independent of the hassles of government owned airports.
This blog will be focused to large extent on designing and developing high performance personal helicopters for those of us more interested in airplanes that hover and not so much classic helicopters.
Got to go now, sorry for such a shabby first post, will try to improve and update blog soon.

About Me
- ken
- Age 55, Certifified Flight Instructor in Airplanes and Helicopters, 19,000 hours flying time, A&P/IA mechanic, licenses, 100 credit hours of Aeronautical Engineering in college, much of it recent years, in many of my classes I am older than my college instructors. I have owned in succession over 50 airplanes and helicopters. Presently I own and operate the same small handful of antiques the last few years. I still crop-dust each summer with helicopters, but after 27 consecutive summer seasons, I am more interested nowadays in the machinery reliability and its design than the mere flying.

Hello Ken,
Very interested. I would love to see conceptual drawings to get some idea as to what the airframe would look like posted on your site.
