hmm interesting. I was only discussing the option of buying an R-22 leasing it to a flying school / letting people use it for self fly hire etc and our figures seemed to work out. We managed to get our own flying down to £65 / hr wet and still have a residual in the aircraft after 2 years - is this realistic? Also on one thread there are loads of posts saying - no commerical heli jobs don't bother and then on this one we are all trying to get CPL(H)'s - who's got it right?
