Hedge36 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I am thinking of offering a Hiller for time building at about $130 per hour(fuel included). I need to see if there is a big demand for this, so if you are interested let me know when and how many hours you would want. The price would depend on how many hours you booked. Please let me know if you are interested as soon as possible. Might help if we knew where you are. Quote
rejigger2 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 I am located in central california, but I would be willing to travel wherever it is wanted. Quote
adam32 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Where at in Central Cali? What model Hiller? I may be going on Sunday to take a look at a Hiller for sale in that area. Quote
devonaire Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Couple more questions: Is anyone involved in this project a flight instructor? Is $130/hr "shared time"? I'd be glad to move down to central CA for the winter. Quote
svtcobra66 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I'm reposting this from the other thread about left-seat time building: For all these time-building schemes, unless the aircraft is insured for instruction and rental, it's a terrible idea. If the insurance company doesn't know you're flying an aircraft they insure, and they find out you were manipulating the controls, who do you think they're going to come after? YOU. There's a reason most of them are so cheap; they're under-insured. Like I said, nothing wrong w/ this if the aircraft is insured for instruction/rental or each pilot is approved individually, but most of the time this isn't the case. And I don't need to tell anyone that helicopter accidents do happen, and insurance companies can and do come after pilots, and if they're not approved you can bet on it. Quote
rejigger2 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Everything is completely legal. It is not a scheme, I will be aboard as a flight instructor and it is fully insured. Edited April 14, 2009 by rejigger2 Quote
adam32 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) everything will be completely legal. It is not a scheme, I will be aboard as a flight instructor, therefor it will be insured as such. I am just seeing if there is a demand for this. Please let me know how many hours you will want. If there is a big enough demand then I will begin offering the time building. Where at? What model? I'm interested in at least 10 hrs, possibly more. Edited October 26, 2008 by adam32 Quote
clay Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Ill take 2.3 hrs please. can you bring it to Colorado? Quote

Goldy Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I sure can, I'll let you know when it gets going and we'll work out the details. I sure hope its an "E" model. I dont think the earlier versions could get off the ground with me in it ! Quote
adam32 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I sure hope its an "E" model. I dont think the earlier versions could get off the ground with me in it ! I bet a C could get off the ground with ya, if an R22 can, a Hiller can. Quote
Justin DBC Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Ill take 2.3 hrs please. can you bring it to Colorado? Stop hogging all the time, Clay. Some other people might want a shot as well Quote

jehh Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 175/hr is a lot more than $130... Heck, if someone wanted to build 25 hours I'd probably sell it to them for that price, so long as it was all cross country and probably some of it at night when the aircraft aren't being used. I'd probably find a CFI who would love to go along as well. Quote
rejigger2 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) $175 is still a whole lot less than anything I have seen offered anywhere. There are a couple people now and then that offer a ferry flight or something like that for a lower price than a school. Edited April 14, 2009 by rejigger2 Quote
jehh Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 You're right, $175 is not likely to be found in many places. Just pointing out that it was a heck of a deal at $130, less so at $175. I hope it works out for you, there are plenty of people who need cheap time. Quote
happyappy Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I am offering timebilding at $170 an hour, including fuel. I have an R-22 Beta that is fully insured. I am just trying to offset the expense of the helicopter. I will be in southeast Florida, most likely Miami, for the winter. There's a slight chance I may end up in Fort Lauderdale or West Palm Beach. The Vertical Reference User "WhistlerPilot" just flew 40 hours with me a couple weeks ago, including cross country from Clevelad to New York City, includind several trips around Manhattan. He also did numerous off airport landings in confined spaces along the way. He had a great time. The only restriction I have is no autorotations. Since I'll be in Florida, we can fly to the Bahamas or other Carribean Islands if you like. For insurance purposes, I must be in the aircraft, so this means no solo and no taking up anyone else. I am marketing this as timebuilding, not rental. I will be flying from Cleveland to Pompano Beach, Florida on November 28 (the day after Thanksgiving) and am looking for someone for this flight. I may offer a discount or cover your airfare. If interested, call me at 216-526-1502. Paul Quote
hoshmaster Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Boatpix is also another option for cheap timebuilding. Boatpix operates a ship out of Torrance that does commercial photography. Good way to build time fast, inexpensively and you learn alot in the process. Not to mention building your self confidence as a safe well rounded pilot. Quote

hoshmaster Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Clay I really dont believe that has much justification. One accident a few months ago that both pilots made it safely out of. Every flight school and every operation has had incidents and accidents, if you were to actually look into it, you would find that his company has a very good safety record and to my knowledge has only had that one accident that NTSB got invovled with. Please let me know if you know of others . . . Quote
RkyMtnHI Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 just thought you might want to see a photo of that boatpix helo in action taken in Torrance last month! :-) dp well, don't know what is going on, the link will not take my photo today.. you can see it on my photo link below under "Factory course"... sorry!
