2003 ROBINSON R 22 BETA II HELICOPTER, PARTS, REBUILD OR DISPLAY, CHEAP !!THE R 22 IS THE FIRST.
Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
THE R-22 IS THE FIRST HELICOPTER THAT WOULD ACCURATELY BE DESCRIBED AS ECONOMICAL.
WITH SIMPLE SYSTEMS, A LIGHTWEIGHT, RELIABLE POWERPLANT, AND REASONABLE TIME BETWEEN OVERHAUL ON THE COMPONENTS, THEY HAVE BEEN IN PRODUCTION SINCE THE EARLY 1990"S
THIS IS A LATER MODEL, BUILT IN 2003, AND IT IS THE UPGRADED BETA 2 VERSION, WHICH COMES WITH LOADS OF IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE EARLIER MODELS.
THIS HELICOPTER HAS 5562 HOURS TOTAL TIME, AND ONLY 1039 HOURS SINCE A COMPLETE AIRFRAME OVERHAUL/UPDATE !
UNFORTUNATELY, IT SUFFERED DAMAGE WHEN THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO LAND ON A PLATFORM ON THE TOP OF A VOLCANO, AS PART OF HIS TRAINING. HE MISSED SOME OF THE PLATFORM, AND ROLLED OVER, DAMAGING THE HELICOPTER.
I DID SAY VOLCANO !!
DORMANT, OF COURSE, BUT A VOLCANO, NONE THE LESS.
THIS HELICOPTER IS LOCATED ON THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII, AT THE KONA AIRPORT !!!
AS A RESULT OF THE ROLL OVER, THE HELICOPTER SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO:
BOTH MAIN ROTOR BLADES
ONE TAIL ROTOR BLADE
THE TAILCONE AT IT"S ATTACHMENT POINT
THE FIREWALL
THE FUSELAGE ON THE LOWER REAR NEAR THE REAR SKID ATTACHMENT
THE LEFT SIDE BUBBLE
THE UPPER MAST AREA
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, ALTHOUGH THERE IS OBVIOUS DAMAGE HERE, THE HELICOPTER IS INTACT AND STILL LOOKS LIKE A HELICOPTER !!
THE ENGINE SUFFERED A STOPPAGE WHEN THE ROTORS IMPACTED THE HILL, SO IT HAS BEEN REMOVED, WITH IT"S ACCESSORIES, AND IS NOT INCLUDED.
THE FIBERGLASS SHROUD, WHICH GOES AROUND THE REAR OF THE ENGINE, AND THE COOLING FAN, ARE INCLUDED.
ALL CABLES AND LINES WERE DISCONNECTED, SO THAT A REPLACEMENT ENGINE CAN BE INSTALLED, IF YOU SO DESIRE.
IF YOUR ONLY NEED IS FOR PARTS, THERE ARE LOTS OF GOOD ITEMS INSIDE.
THE INSTRUMENT POD IS INTACT (ALTHOUGH THE INSTRUMENTS AND RADIOS THEMSELVES WERE REMOVED), AND THE SEATS, PEDALS, CYCLIC AND COLLECTIVE ARE ALL INTACT.
BOTH CABIN DOORS ARE INTACT, WITH GOOD GLASS AND LATCHES
THE SKIDS ARE INTACT, AND THE COPTER SITS UP NORMALLY.
THE VERTICAL FIN AND HORIZONTAL FIN ARE INTACT, SO IT DOESNT APPEAR TO HAVE ROLLED ON BOTH SIDES
THIS HELICOPTER IS SOLD WITH FAA BILL OF SALE AND AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS, SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REGISTER IT IN YOUR NAME WITH THE FAA (ONLY $5, A STEAL)
IF YOUR NEED IS FOR PARTS, THIS R-22 HAS MANY
IF YOU WANT TO FIX IT UP, IT"S A BIG PROJECT, BUT THE PURCHASE PRICE IS VERY LOW
OR MAYBE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MOVIE PROP, AN OUTDOOR DISPLAY OR SIGN FOR YOUR BUSINESS, OR SOME OTHER NEAT REASON TO HAVE YOUR OWN HELICOPTER.
THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT IT IS IN HAWAII !!
IF YOU ARE IN HAWAII, YOU CAN SAVE ALL THE TRANSPORTATION COSTS TO GET IT TOO YOU FROM THE MAINLAND !
IF YOU ARE NOT FROM HAWAII, BUT WANT TO GO, THIS IS A GOOD, POSSIBLY TAX DEDUCTIBLE REASON TO GO, AND MAYBE EVEN BRING ALONG A "HELPER" !
IT WILL FIT INTO A 20 FOOT CONTAINER, AND CONTAINERS ARE MUCH CHEAPER GOING FROM HAWAII TO THE MAINLAND, BECAUSE THEY OFTEN HAVE TO SEND THEM EMPTY.
THIS IS A CHEAP WAY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY.
