does anyone have any bright ideas of how to build approx 35 hrs of night - as cheaply as possible ? i have 2000 hrs tt , 1600 pic , 816 hrs instruction given ( r22 ) 400 hrs B206 and currently flying B412 400 hrs - would be willing to do any work for free - to build the reqd hrs - flying on FAA comm/instrument with instructors rating .............

work for free? fly for free? why don't you go ask on a 'non' professional forum. Or you could just pay for 35 hrs R22 time and do it yourself. :ugh::ugh:!

Please do NOT fly for free---why do you think we do not get paid what we are worth.

You could go and do a private fixed wing licence and then fly around at night until you have the hours. You dont need the hours to be in a helicopter(or do you for an FAA ATPL, not sure). You end up paying probably less then doing them in a Robbie plus a holiday and a fixed wing licence. Haven't looked into costs but it is worth a look.

thanks for the advice - would never have thought of paying for it myself - you must work as a rocket scientist in your spare time .....:ugh::ugh:
