    Partnership on a helicopter purchase?

    Anyone in FL want to go 50/50 on a helicopter? Figure $150k or so per person on a decent used one ($300-$350k range), and $35-50k/year maintenance. Looking at something like this:

      Always wanted to learn to fly choppers since a kid. Have you flew one before or looking to start?

      Ebay probably not the best place to buy a helicopter. If you know Rex at VG he would be a good person to talk to about such a purchase.

          Well, the eBay link is just an example of what I'm looking at ... haha.

          I don't want to fly it; I want to be flown. I'm just looking to share the ownership with someone local. I don't need it often, maybe about 1/4 to 1/2 the time.

              When I worked at Nashua Corp. a few of the guys got together to buy a plane.

              The disputes about time (everyone seemed to want it the same days) led to a second aircraft purchase.

              Big pain in the balls. Good Luck!

                Wouldnt it be cheaper and better for taxes to charter when you need it? Not that I know anything about this but I heard buying the Private Jet Card Memberships the way to go to fly private. Unless of course you're initials are RC.

                  A friend of mine sold hers (don't know the model), the maintenance was too high. Said she would never own another. One year she spent well over 100k on it.

                            You might have a decent point there.

                                  You would get more success if you offered business opportunity, for instance to rent it or do "taxi service" whenever you do not use it yourself.

                                    I'm not personally interested in renting out my helicopter. Yuck. I didn't even rent my limo, nevermind something that flies.

                                      You can look at it from different perspective: You invest into helicopter rent business and on top of that you get to use it for yourself as well

                                      After all when there are 2 of you (owners) you sort of let it use to someone else anyway (just 1 person instead of more when renting).

                                      Not suggesting, just saying that it may be more difficult to find someone who thinks its viable to buy helicopter and not get any ROI out of it while it sits there.

                                        I didn't misunderstand you, it's just .. yuck. Always had people trying to convince me to rent out the lake house, or the boat, or the jet skis, or whatever .. it's just that people are usually gross, and don't take care of shit.

                                            Not as much use for a plane as a helicopter, sorry. A bit out of my price-range, too.

                                              lol you must really have low self esteem issues Dom


                                              You always flock here about your Viper and now a Heli?

                                              Come on man you are not a player at all , the real players do not come here talkin about a Viper or "Toys" lololol

                                              Best advice for you is to see a therapist

                                              And no I am far from a player but my modest toys and modest belongings do not need to be posted here to help me be happy with myself

                                              seek some help that some free advice ....

                                              btw you are at best a "ok" programmer nothing more ....


                                              or is the Autopligg/Chio partner money paying for the Heli/Viper/Cristal/ and mad bitches?


                                              Seek help and tell Chio we miss him

                                                  If you think having a Viper or a helicopter make you a "player" you need to reexamine what makes you happy. Most of my cars are modest, but my code is not -- I'm an excellent coder for those who aren't too broke to pay for those services. How's business lately?

                                                    Where did you get $35K-$50/year for maintenance? I use to work on Sikorsky's and can tell you that number is way off. Lots of moving parts to break. They are fun to fly but very expensive to operate and maintain.

                                                      I figured 70k-100k (35k-50k per person) was fair for maintaining them. If that's not the case, then it's more expensive that I want to deal with, when you factor in fuel. I'd like to get the details and see. But first, I don't want to go it alone, so I'm seeking someone in the area who wants to share.

                                                            C'mon, man, we'd make great partners! You should come up to my neck of the woods and check out some of the houses here. Great opportunity to buy properties and run them as rentals. It's a weird real estate confluence of high rental prices and low purchase prices. When the purchase prices go up, the rents will swell with them, making it ideal right now.

You might want to look into quarter share or fractional to start out and see how that goes. I worked on aircraft for 22 years and one thing I can tell you is how much the accounting departments bitched at the owners about how much money they cost to operate/maintain.

                                                                                My advice would be to really take your time looking into the actual operating costs. You could lose your ass really quick on equipment like that.

I coded Autoblogger Pro Stand Alone for him, did a year of free support for uaers, and he ran off with the bank account. Old news now, but trolls will troll and haters gonna hate.

Much cheaper, and much simpler, with MUCH lower maintenance costs. The one you are looking at has way too much stuff that breaks on it. The more gizmos on an aircraft, (or a boat), the more that there are things to go wrong and require repair and/or maintenance.

                                                                                                    p.s. you are coming up on 5000 hours on the one you are looking at, that means a complete overhaul, which will cost you AT LEAST $750k.


                                                                                                    I would highly recommend that you do a bunch more homework on this subject prior to buying.
