"We have six helicopters now that have more than 20,000 hours on them. They've gone through the complete overhaul process 10 times. Take them apart, put them together, maintain them the way your supposed to, and they will start up and go every day. We have flown 6-8 hours a day on every aircraft, continuously, and they just go and go and go." - Paul Mansfield | Director of Maintenance | Quantum Helicopters #aviation #heli #pilot #r66 #r44 #r22 #robinsonhelicopter #helicopter #helicoptero #avgeeks #heli #helicopterlife #aviationphotography #aviationlovers #robinson
Learned to fly in a early R22, coil of installation tape over the engine stop near the carb heat. Brings back many happy memories and many hours.
As a fixed wing guy you hear a lot of mixed stories of these small helicopters, so for me 20,000 hours is an impressive number. I guess that the key word in this post is "maintain them the way your supposed to". I like it! 👏
Impressive growth!
Good job 👏
Well done!
Congrats!

1moKind of ‘new’ after the complete overhaul. I’ve seen the factory break down. It might as well be brand new.
