I think I'm going to buy a helicopter

02-13-2004, 10:44 PM

But I have never done anything like this before.
I know you need 5% down, but what are the steps involved. Are there any really good online resources?

I'd go to the bank but they waste my time... because I'm too newb to know what they are talking about.

Any help is mucho appreciated..
Thanks

My brother is a pilot, and most of them cost like $400k if you want it in half ass condition & fast & quiet. Otherwise the typical 'news' style jet rangers from the late 70's are like $250k. Just because its from the late 70's doesn`t mean its outdated, they have virtually not changed since then.

btw - be prepared to spend $10-25k every so many hours, replacing the engine and stuff. Its not that expensive, but if you are just flying around for the hell of it, its overkill, and the blades are around $15k i`m pretty sure.

Plus the pilot... unless you want to get a license, but then i doubt you could, if you have trouble using the bank managers.

If you are thinking about a new helicopter, look into the Robinson R-22 which sells for around $180K and your yearly average operating expenses will be around $7K.

http://www.robinsonheli.com

You might be able to lease it back to a flying school when you're not using it depending on your location.

As far as an used helicopter guide, Try Rotor & Wing.

Hope this helps!

dont know how much you have to spend dude, however aviation is very costly. If you decide to go turbine or piston the price different is large...but even low end is expensive. Get a broker before you get royally fucked over.

A friend of mine has 15 helicopters. He leases them out to the US govt's forestry service. I asked him about the Robinson and he said, save your money and get a real helicopter.

I don't know how to fly them. A little too complex for my small brain. Although I do work with them in Forest fire suppression,

Us 'fixed wing' pilot have a saying about Choppers, They don't fly, they are so ugly that the earth repels them!!

A Robinson is a good first helicopter, fly it for a few years, build your time, and then buy something half-way decent.

If you want something that you're not going to be the pilot in command, but will be flown in, by all means put an order in for your MD 600.

helicopter ownership and flying is expensive.

if you can afford it, best to buy a used r22, train in it, then sell it for about what you paid for it.

the tbo on r22 is 2000 hrs. buy one with 1500-1700 hrs for about 45K, do your training then sell it for 45-50K.

check trade-a-plane.com for pricing.

most people who fly them don't own them. insurance is very high for low-time pilots.

helicopters are mostly for having fun. fixed wing aircraft are usually faster, cheaper, and easier to fly, they just can't hover.

if you are a helicopter nut probably the best value for the money is a used hiller.

a nice 3-seater is the enstrom.

Buying a helicopter is easy. Getting and affording the insurance is another story. If you do not know what I am talking about, buy a pinto.
