morg59 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I am looking into flight schools and being a heavier but losing kinda guy I was wondering if anyone knows what weight i need to make to get started? The school I am looking at uses Schweizer 300c Helicopters, and Schweizer 333 Turbine Helicopters. I have seen posts about the R22's but not these. Does anyone know?

flingwing206 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 The 300 series has a 600-lb cabin limit, and no seat limit, the 333 will not be an issue for anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldy Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 when i was in school i was 6'3" and 240 lbs and i trained in a 300cb with no problems Keep your weight under 240, and your CFI at 170 or so, and you can fly the R22 as well.
