I have a spare TR DS I'd be willing to sell.Funny, I never really saw a headline telling me that "Sikorsky STOPS production of 300"....even though we all knew its been dead for about the last 3 years now. Best thing they could do for the owners is sell the certificate off to someone who cares about 300's and wants to downsize and make production work. Apiaguy...you got some extra room in your hangar to start building some? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apiaguy Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yes, I have room! Unfortunately they don't want to sell it... at least not as of last year...They are interested in licensing it to an outside source... that has its own issues and doesn't allow much control of its future, just the opportunity to build more, which by the way, is how schweizer got started with it... so who knows how that could turn out. They are interested in "complete" manufacture licensing...Unfortunately I don't have the overall knowledge of manufacturing nor the bankroll to fund that kind of build up operation... make a guess what it would cost to get that production line up and ready!? If you know some "high rollers" that are interested in helicopters let me know! I'd love to be part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam32 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I know a couple guys trying to do that with Hiller right now...if it works out with Hiller then the 300 might also work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
