If you were waiting for the release of the new helicopters FlyInside announced at FlightSimExpo earlier this year, the time has come.
The company released the Rotorway RW162F and the JetExec for Microsoft Flight Simulator and you can get them right away, separately, for US$34.95 (or the equivalent in your currency) or in a special bundle, for US$64.95.
According to FlyInside, this bundle will be available for a limited amount of time, without indicating how long, so keep that in mind.
The RW162F is an experimental kit helicopter that buyers can build and maintain themselves. It’s priced at less than US$50,000 and uses regular car gas.
The JetExec is a full conversion to a turbine-powered helicopter with a glass cockpit and the extra power the engine offers, of course.

Please note: at the time this news was published it seems like there was an issue with the bundle price, which I have reported to FlyInside and I believe it should be fixed soon. This could just be an exchange rate issue as I see my prioces in Euros but if you happen to see a higher price than the amount indicated above, please try again later.
