Top 3 Cheapest Light Helicopters | Price & Specs

In this video, we’re sharing our top list of the cheapest light helicopters you can buy under US$500,000 (used or brand new), including their price and specs. Watch until the end to see our top pick, as well as some honorable mentions!

Decades of innovative research and development have culminated in the production of light helicopters. These rotorcraft not only incorporate pilot ergonomics but passenger comfort as well, optimizing aerodynamics while maintaining a light structural weight. The light category applies to helicopters with a maximum take-off weight of less than 7,000 lbs or 3,175 kg, and a maximum capacity of 9 passengers. There are considerably many models under this category, making it one of the most competitive segments of the helicopter market, but there are only a select few that are offered under $ 1 million, let alone the $ 500,000 mark.

Nice video. I’d skip all the dangerous Robbie products and go with an Enstrom 480B on the poor side and EC-120B if I had the funds. I currently own a 280fx.
