waupo Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Anybody out there have any Hiller expierance? Looking to find someone with time in a C model, for advice. ::rotorhead:: Quote
RDRickster Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 I've always wanted to fly one, but I don't know of any in my area. There is a company in CT that uses a Hiller for training from time to time, but they haven't brought it out of annual for the last six months! I guess they are going to scrap it. Quote
Ak Kelly Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 I purchased a 12B/C last June, after a lot of research. I trained in a 269C and flew a F28C Enstrom and an R22. I think a Hiller is a great machine, only 4 life limited parts, it's tough and reliable. Parts do not seem to be an issue. I am thinking of up grading to a 12E4. You can get a new/refurbished one from Hiller 0 tome for $125,000 or a refurbished one from United Helicopters for about the same, just not 0 time. They fly great and are a true bargin. Quote
waupo Posted January 26, 2005 Author Posted January 26, 2005 I'm currently flying a Bell 47 D1, with lots of G2 time under my belt. I got my rating in an R22, and moved on to the G2, 300c, Sokorsky S55 turbine, but I have always liked the 47 the best. I have a chance to go into a partnership for a very good price, and lease it back. It's a lowtime "C" model, that's IFR rated, so we can teach IFR in it. I like the Bell, but parts a getting scarce. Thanks for the comments. ::rotorhead:: Quote
