With FRI/NTPS taking over the Rotary Rocket High-bay hangar, the Roton had to move out. Plans are still in-work to move the Roton down to Classic Rotors in Ramona, this time by long-line under a Heavylift Skycrane. The long line (250') should solve the oscillation problems that plagued the first attempt, which used a 15' line under an Army Reserve CH-47. Meanwhile, tie-down space was generously donated by the flight school at Mojave, Viking Aviation (and right next to the Mercy hangar!).
