R22 School usage

As an owner of four R22's in the past 11 years, as a guide I found that they would do between 300 and 450 hours a year in the school. But maintenance costs would be fairly high with that amount of use and dare I say abuse in the training role. After losing a machine altogether I stopped self fly hire of the machines on the basis that at least an instructor should know what he or she is doing.
