KISS THE WIND Introduction - Christopher Kiss - 08-13-2026 Greetings Rotorway Forums. Very honored Orville (Neisingh) encouraged me to join.  We first met and spoke at church and introduced ourselves over a mutual flight review in the R22 BETA II.  Thrilled to learn he also owned an R22 some years ago, and it blew my hair back when I saw his hanger of Rotorways... so I indicated huge interest in having a transition. He has been most generous with his mentoring. Came to Missouri from Los Angeles last year to train a few pilots at various levels, and was invited to stay to train another in particular. This led to another student or three, and so I recently based myself with an R22 out of West Plains traveling when required to surrounding areas...  Mountain View, Springfield, Willow Springs, Salem, Branson and Hollister etc. Also believe there's no such thing as too much ground, so I place strong emphasis on the knowledge -- occasionally preparing students for IPCs, written tests, checkrides and flight reviews - including SFAR 73 ground training for Robinson R22 & R44.  I consider it a great honor and enormous motivator to help people get their wings. Feel free to contact anytime for an intro flight or conversation. Very big thanks, and I very much look forward to the sources of insight and information here. Fly safe.

I’m sure you will be of service to those that need some assistance. RE: KISS THE WIND Introduction - Sam Oliver - 08-15-2026 Welcome Chris.  Great to have a CFI's with Rotorway experience as a member here. RE: KISS THE WIND Introduction - Christopher Kiss - 08-19-2026 Thank you very much gentlemen. Nice warm welcome from Jared as well. Nice trove of information here.   Brutal heat last few days, so I understand why Orv likes to start early. Nice to see him do a flyby one morning recently.
