- We talk about Robinson R44 helicopters, their price points and operating costs, and share a bit about our expertise and knowledge in the industry! Learn about the features, benefits, and value of these popular helicopters and learn little bit about us!
Hi there - I live maybe 5-10 minutes away from Robinson Helicopter. I remember watching them grow over decades from one small building to several massive ones right off the ramp from Torrance Airport (KTOA) where I also got my fixed-wing PPL. Got to take a tour once, very cool place. Amazing to think that Robinson is now the largest heli manufacturer in the world, but they definitely deserve it! Your title says "Who Are We"...I watched the whole thing and I still have no idea who you guys are. Maybe in the next vid?
Thanks for the breakdown. Look forward to more videos
Robinson helicopters are very good so long as you respect their limitations and warnings, but pilots also have limitations and just so long as you respect yours everything will be fine.
Awesome insight Josh and Kylie
Okay guys I just found this video and I haven’t watched any other videos of yours yet,
First impressions
Too long for what it is.
8 to 10 minute long videos are ideal.
Good information.
The very best information that I can share with you is to watch some of Beaki and Chris’s TH-cam channel videos to get some ideas on how to do flying adventure videos like they do with their R44 II, their R44 is currently being rebuilt at Robertson , but they have had some really great flying adventure videos in the past that you might want to see.
Thanks for putting up with my opinions hopefully they can help your channel.
If you’re going to school them at least get the aircraft manufacturer correct. It’s not Robertson

My bad
I have dyslexia and I can’t spell for nothing.
I was just trying to be helpful.
I’ve been wanting to be a pilot all of my life and I’m still trying but at my age the only way it’s really going to happen is by winning a lottery, and then I would buy an MD helicopter 🚁 so I just didn’t feel like knowing if I spelled Robinson correctly or not.
Thanks for your input, but I have to learn how to spell so many words to get them right and it just hasn’t been that important to me to know how to spell Robinson or how ever it’s spelled correctly for the most part.
I totally agree with your assessment of the video and I think their channel could be awesome. I too am trying to get my pilot’s license but life keeps getting in the way. Best of luck to you!

Thank you very much
Best of luck with the mode A Va sion of keeping your/ our dreams alive.
Never give up on your dreams.
i'd say you've got the spelling down now!
Wow. Insurance is orders of magnitude more expensive than fixed wing. My 140 knot cruiser hull value of 90k insurance is $1100
new sub, love the nitty gritty details of owning a heli. Life goal is to have a HX-50 when it becomes available. Thanks!
If it becomes available.
@@choysum9030 agree or Cabri G2... sorry, but i don't trust Robinson helicopters, I need a 3 bladed high inertial rotor system
Great start nust subscribed!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
Neat!
as someone looking to get into this in the next few years, Could you do a breakdown of cost per hour and explain it? As in, if it cost "x" amount of money to fly per hour, how are you accounting for that money? If you plan to keep it and overhaul it, are you stashing away that same "x" amount of money per hour of flight into a savings account for the overhaul? I can't for the life of me figure out how people afford to own helicopters. But they clearly do it, and I'm just not understanding the math haha
Beaky and Chris have a TH-cam channel and they go into the costs really well and they have a whole bunch of really great videos on flying helicopters 🚁 as well that you should probably watch.
They are running an R44 II that is currently being rebuilt, but they have a lot of truly great past videos to watch on adventures in flying.
@@storytimedavidcollins2897 have watched some of their videos already as well haha
@@storytimedavidcollins2897there definitely a great channel to watch, I wish we could put out as much content as they do.
you could negotiate that 109,000.00 used R44 down to in the upper nineties.
Hope you’ve got your A&P
What kind of store do you own? I couldn't hear what you said.
Diesel engine repair
The only way to have bought a jet-Ranger / TH-67 was when FT. Rucker got rid of their TH-67 trainers .
End of life on a helicopter… I don’t think it is a good idea, unless you know who was flying it.
dope
12 year is not a mandatory overhaul. Only blades are mandatory.
Yea Tj helicopters cleared that up
Awe,,,
No not just blades.
When a Robertson times out it has to be completely rebuilt from the stripped haul back up.
Becki and Chris have a TH-cam channel and they have a R44 II that is currently being completely rebuilt at Robertson Helicopters, but they have some excellent videos on TH-cam from the past that are very informative and just awesome adventure flying videos that I really recommend to anyone who is interested in helicopter aviation.
