KoreanPooh Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hi Can you recommend me best safe helicopter? in 80 -90? I gather money for my dream.. My max limit is 1 million dollars And my dream helicopter is bell 222 the airwolf ... I think about used Robinson Raven I R44 It's quiet cheap but I really worry about it has just one engine... Can you recommend me in my budget ? The best safe one? And How much does it cost rebuild or overhall bell 222 body.. Is it okay? just change part? not body over haul? Thank you reading..

ridethisbike Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 In 80-90 what? I'm not sure anyone quite understands what you are trying to ask. Are you asking what helicopter you should buy? Train in? Do you have any business goals with this helicopter such as EMS? Tours? Or just for recreational use? I fear the language barrier may have reared its ugly head...

JCM5 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I think he means 1980-1990?? Can't tell if he intends to be flown in it, wants to buy and train in it, or thinks he can just buy and fly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retreating Brain Stall Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Helicopters-safe? Only as safe as the maintenance of the aircraft and the operator/pilot. Most aircraft can be maintained and operated safely, some are more maintenance pigs and cost more than others to maintain in good conditions and that might be an avenue you will want to investigate. There are expensive programs you can purchase to help you before making such large of a purchase to get almost accurate cost associated with the aircraft you want to purchase.

MileHi480B Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 You can damn near get a new Enstrom 480B for that money. A great, roomy, safe, losw-maintenance bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helonorth Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I don't think the 222 is something you want to mess around with. I have heard a single MR blade is in the multiple hundreds of thousands, if you can find one. I'd go with a 206LIII. It has a back seat bigger than a shoe box, plus a good size baggage compartment, which is kind of handy. If I really had a mil to spend on an aircraft, I'd buy an airplane.

Spike Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 The internet is not the place to find your answers…… A reputable helicopter broker is the person you should be speaking with. Especially, if you have limited English skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pohi Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'll broker a deal. I don't have a 222, but I do have a 22. Since I have 2 of the 3 "2's" you want, I'll only charge 2/3 of a million for it. PM me for delivery instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
