ENGINE REBUILD
PAID BUILDER ASSISTANCE
I recently developed the capability to rebuild and/or upgrade Rotorway engines. We have sourced most required parts from both RotorX and outside suppliers. The sub-shop can do cylinder upgrades, top overhauls and full rebuilds as requested by the client. Pricing is flat rated plus parts. Currently for a complete rebuild is $2000 (labor )plus parts. The parts would include connecting rod bearings, rings, head & base gaskets and valve rework by a commercial machine shop. Part costs vary depending on source and vendors.
I now have several artisans willing to work under my overview to build or complete ships for owners that don't have the time or motivation to accomplish the task of construction. Their fees vary depending on their time available and skill level. All fee negotiations are done between owner and artisan. I assist in recommending a qualified person depending on task at hand and skills required. All work sign offs are completed by a licensed A&P mechanic.
I am an A&P certified FAA artisan with the IA endorsement. I routinely accomplish annual Condition Inspections in accordance with RW guidelines. Usually, I can perform these required inspections pre or post Gathering dates if pre-scheduled and time allows. I have, on occasion, accommodated owners during my cross country travels.
I've been transporting Rotorway ships and kits for about fifteen years now. I have a custom trailer that I designed and improved over years of travel. My usual charge is $.95 per mile round trip Lake City, FL using MapQuest mileage estimates.
I'm retired and have time (no cost/free) to assist builders with their projects. I prefer to work out of one of my hangers located at Cannon Creek Airpark, Lake City, FL. I charge $125 per month for hanger space. My intention is not to store projects but provide assistance to active projects. I have a two bed apartment in one of the hangers reserved for builders during their building visits at $25 per night. There are also 2200+ hotel rooms in nearby Lake City offering more luxurious accommodations. I also have recently added a full hook up RV ($15 per night) parking site next to one of my hangers with access to the apartment facilities for showers and laundry.
