23 Cheap Helicopters Private Pilots Can Buy

Показать описание

There is a popular believe that, you can’t say both helicopter and cheap in the same sentence, because generally, helicopters are perceived to be outrageously expensive to own and operate, even airlines can’t efficiently operate helicopters without subsides. A lot of people have dreams of owning and flying their own helicopters around, but the logistics is a complete nightmare, so we made a list of helicopters that will only cost as much as an SUV.

NOTE, some of the prices are for used models, for ones I didn't see used models on the market, I wrote the MSRP, and ones I didn't see prices from trusted sources, I didn't write the price at all.

Hi, prices are in description 😊😊
Thanks...
I took out so many things because I wanted the video to be as short as possible as it was initially too long.

In the Mosquito Air XE section at about 6:05 .. "Engine Taco Meter" .. need to check the audio scripts .. that's generally an "engine tachometer"

If you value your life, NEVER cheap out on a aircraft, particularly a helicopter. Speaking as a rotor pilot for 25 years(15 of which in EMT).

Great list, Thanks! I discovered some new ones. I also like the 4 seat. Hummingbird 260L, the world’s first FAA certified helicopter to be sold in kit form. With automotive engine options. =)

Helicopters prices are ridiculous, you will never find helicopters from this prices on the market, or most of them .

The "ultralight" Designation in the US also puts Limits on Power, Weight of the aircraft, Performance, and Fuel capacity, IIRC.

Buy the "cheapest" aircraft you can find. It leaves more inheritance and your heirs will love you for it. The ones you don't take with you, at least.

im wondering - are they as safty as they shouldt.

None of these home made copters come with a crash helmet so good luck

A helicopter is unforgiving. You certainly need training to fly it….

The Brantly 305's (time 4:14) were produced between 1964-1966, not the 1970s. 47 units were manufactured before production was terminated. There is currently one airworthy 305 in the world, it's in Monrovia, Indiana. The one in your video was Serial Number 1014, making it the 15th ship produced.

What a surprise. The most famous gyrocopter was designed, built and flown by an Englishman. It was most famous as it was flown in the James Bond film, But as it was English and you lot hate the English, you will not include it. There is also a lot of "was" in your video which means the product is not available.

Didn’t give the price on hardly any of the helicopters… just a bunch of specs you can find out easily anywhere…

I would be wary of operating any vehicle that is manufactured in or that gets parts supplied from an active warzone. The Ukrainian helicopters look cool, though.
