johnson4 Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Oh ya, do you know if they do rebuilds on site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helimat Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Oh ya, do you know if they do rebuilds on site? E&B does O/H on site, as does West Coast Helicopters in Nanaimo, which is also a Robinson Service Center. Helimat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldywings Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 ok Thanks, I just have no idea so Im wondering if it's like 10 Gs or 100 Ill try making some calls tho 2200 Hour Engine Overhaul ($19,500 RHC exchange) 2200 Hour Aircraft Overhaul Parts Kit ($69,000) (Includes new bearings, seals, belts, etc., and life-limited components with less than 2200 hours remaining.) Labor (180 Manhours @ $60 per hour) Total cost = $99300.00 This is the estimated overhaul cost of a Beta II by Robinson as of January 07. OUCH!

OUCH! ouch is right, I was just trying to consider the best option, -buy and a/c that has 400 hours left on it and add 100 hours then sell OR -buy a run out a/c, overhaul it, fly as much as I please and sell it without loosing too much money I don't have a CPL so it would be a training machine. Thanks for the info tho, greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Level Lover Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 This $69,000 for the parts kit, do you not get substantial money back for the cores to bring the price down some what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrkyle Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I've helped do a couple R22 overhauls this year. The last one cost about 105k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson4 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I was told that $26,000 of that is the rotor blades, is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
