Hughes500

Well all i can say is that I run 3 x schweizers at my school here in Devon and they seem to stay in the air quite well. Example
one machine been away for 1 year and 300 hours ( leased to an hour builder)
Only unscheduled maintenance was one starter motor ( quality of todays is crap) and a mixture cable. All the rest was scheduled checks or part replacement.
The other 2 seem to be good, can only speak as I find

Biggles99, I can only guess your Rotorway comment was a humerous tongue-in-cheek thing....as there are numerous nice ready built machines for sale...

'Every school that runs 300s that I have worked at, or hired from has always had problems with 300s'

Bournemouth swear by thiers and we have had one for two years and its been great...minor issue with a part being dropped but not the heli's fault. Think 300cbi are the best training aircraft ever!

"R44 shares available at Barton- Cyclic Flare"

I am interested in a part share at Barton or the Greater Manchester area. I am training at Barton on a 300CBI and will be low hours naturally when I pass. I am an experienced PPL(A) but I know that does not count! Anyone who may have any contacts, please let me know, I'd be grateful. Many thanks.
