Whats a R44 RII now worth???
Alternative to Heliair.
From some recent correspondance I notice there is a facility at Henstridge airfield (Dorset/Somerset border) that does Robinson maintenance. Don't know much about them yet but they can only be better than Heliair.
Heli Air Charging £2000 For Part M Services

Are you sure Heli Air are charging £2000 per year per helicopter for Part M services.
A friend of mine is about to consider them for maintenance on his Helicopter, I will see what he is quoted when he asks.

Thanks!
I have calld and emaild about the silver one at FAST, but don“t got any respond. Anybody know anything about it? Is it well spect?
What do you have to say about the prices, i think that the silver is reasonable priced but the others?
A new these days is 399 000 $ witch is 3 070 000 SEK
To this adds GPS and air transkort 20 000 $
240 000£ is 3 000 000 SEK, IMO no big difference.
If i buy a new one ill get warranty and a brand new aircraft, if i didn“t want it immideatly i would buy a new but now im in a different situation.
Am i missing something? The helis dosen“t seem to move and new ones is produced every day without beeing sold, even discunted.

Heliair's big attitude problem

However, I still thought that was too much to charge for a brand new machine that was still only 50% through its very first tech log and with a maintenance history that stretched to replacing a single landing light bulb (Heliair even charged £80 to replace that - a 10 minute job!!).
I don't like playing games and I don't like being ripped off, but after I was accused of lying, I decided it was time to move on - along with a few others who were fed up with Heliair's appalling attitude. If I treated my customers the same way that Heliair treats theirs, I would be out of business in no time! My machine is now looked after by another maintenance org which is part M approved and which charges NOTHING for the privilege!! The maintenance rates are just £50/hour instead of the £75/hour at Heliair. My experience so far with this new company is that it is helpful, pro-active and honest - everything Heliair isn't. I'd be interested to see what your friend is told, but unless they enjoy being treated like an interuption and have money to burn, I'd avoid Heliair like the plague.
The real shame is the guys on the ground at Heliair are very good - despite being treated like s**t by Heliair's management - and therein lies the problem. Little people with big egos/attitude.
44 maintenance facility.
I have eventually found the new maintenance facility at Henstridge for Robinsons and it appears from their website they do a bit more as well as fixed wings. Vanguard Helicopters they go by.
Sorry, don't know much more than that.
