Ok Bell_Ringer, the negative response to anything Hill Helicopters is doing or has already done for light helicopters is at best hilarious. Cars, airplanes and boats (at all price ranges) have (in the last 50 years) advanced in quality, performance and value WITH THE EXCEPTIONAL OF LIGHT PISTON/TURBINE HELICOPTERS AT A PRICE AVIATORS CAN BETTER AFFORD TO BUY AND PROPERLY MAINTAIN.
Entrepreneurial game changers like Dr Jason Hill are rare and succeed because they properly educate themselves and bring aboard experienced technicians to help guide the process. AND ignore the “things can never change “naysayers”.
Armchair naysayer spew words from their keyboard that challenges the common sense of those who do not believe “the status quo” should not change.. Come on over to the side who and/or fly a 40 year old helicopter which is long past due to be engineered better, built the latest space age metals in a modern manufacturing plant and able to bring about reasonable pricing.. In America, general aviation’s downturn began when legacy builders of general aviation aircraft mostly switched over to pipe line suppliers who kept the status quo which was profit at the expense innovative prospects.
The transparency of what Jason Hill has given deposit holders was more than worth the price of admission!
