Maybe? From a mechanic's point of view, all those rotor systems mean linkages, driveshafts, and transmissions. On the surface it seems a mechanical nightmare. Who is going to do all the maintenance on these beasts? Are everyday users going to do pre-flight inspections? How much mechanical knowledge will operators be required to have in order to safely and effectively fly and maintain these things?
