I know a chap who bought a 1972 B206, and insured it Liability only for $5,500 per yr, All he had to do was 50hrs with an instructor, and bell school.
Hope this helps

Screwed said it all....Anyway if your rich enough you dont need Insurance, Good Safety record, take your own chances.........Im talking of other than Liability...
Have a client that was told all this stuff until he mentioned that if the Helicopter was broken he would buy another, saved a bunch on Insurance, if you fit that bill, dont waste your time and money. Just go buy whatever you want..........
