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. !

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 .....
