Ahh-- let me think about that awhile. OK, I'm done. ABSOLUTELY. You have to start in a piston. You hav to be familiar and have min hours in pisotns...thats what you will be teaching in. Plus you get from 2-4 times the number of hours for the same cost..piston vs. turbine. I can think of a few hundred other reasons, but I think your friend is correct.
Helihead Posted April 27, 2007 Author Posted April 27, 2007 ok thanks both of you sound like you know what your talking about I really cant thank you enough .. + it will save me a lot of money
Mixmaster Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Piston for sure. Try to get some 300 time and some R44 time and if possible a bit or turbine time as you reach that 1000 hrs. More people using the R22 Lots of places getting 300s so time in each is good. Fly SafeBEN
