    Your dad passing is a VERY valid "excuse" for not finishing flight school. Don't be so hard on yourself, everyone would struggle man. We all understand that and we hope to see you in the air soon my friend. I think a helicopter would be an awesome party trick with all the friends and would help you personally travel more places if you really wanted too.

    James, for two-seater helicopters, the Robinson R44 Raven II and Hughes 369 are solid options, typically costing between $350,000 and $700,000 for used models. For four-seaters, the Robinson R22 and Bell Model 47 are good choices, with prices ranging from $185,000 to $300,000. While the R22 is a reliable helicopter, the Bell Model 47 could make a statement, as it’s the same model featured as the Batcopter in the 1966 Batman TV show and movie. I'd like to consult a financial advisor to assess the best investment value and potential return on these options.

    • @Joyce-is7kq
      @Joyce-is7kq 5 місяців тому +8

      Maintenance costs could be substantial, which might outweigh the benefits of owning a helicopter at this time. It might be wise to consult a financial advisor to evaluate whether investing in a helicopter aligns with your current financial goals and to assess the long-term financial impact of maintenance expenses.

      No worries, we all start somewhere! 📈 First, grab a comfy chair and some popcorn 🍿, and dive into some beginner-friendly finance videos. Start with basics like "investing for dummies" and "how to trade stocks 101." When you're ready for more, also consider financial advisor like "MARGARET ELLEN WHITLOCK"-I came across her in a CNBC interview, she's like the Yoda of finance! May the gains be with you! 🚀💰

    I was wondering when you'd get into flying. Heli is the choice for sure! Just a helpful hint and I'm sure the pilot had you prep before the video to secure everything in your yard but in the 18 years I've landed helicopters for emergency landing zones at the FD I've seen some WILD things happen with the rotor wash. Please just make sure everything is planted, rooted or bolted down near any landing zone. I've had fencing pull apart, trash, road signs that were loose, etc its crazy what can happen in an urban environment.

    James, some good helicopters that are four seaters are the Robinson R44 Raven ii, and the Hughes 369. Those can range from $350,000-$700,000 used. A couple good two seaters are the Robinson R22, and the Bell model 47. They can range from possibly $185,000-$300,000. The R22 is a really good helicopter, but if you get the Bell model 47, you will turn some heads. That is because, it is the batcopter from the 1966 Batman TV show and movie.

    James, you could "job out" your helicopter and use it when you want to film etc. Crop dusting is REALLY busy right now. Lots of Bell 206's are being used one month a year for just that (that alone would pay for it over time). I was wondering when you were going to bring in a little aviation again. Check out the EAA in Oshkosh (happening live this week) to see what grass roots aviation is all about.

    Hey Strad, I started flight school just the same time as you and will be a Flight instructor in a few weeks. I've been watching your vids for years now and would love to be your CFI to get you done with PPL. I've got a plane and can come to you. I bought a 2020 Supra after you did a couple years ago and sold it to pursue aviation. Love your channel, let's get you flying!

    James, as a student pilot, I completely understand leaving it behind. It sorta becomes your job for a bit. I am currently at the stage of doing the written test and doing a check ride, which I think is the hardest stage of becoming a pilot. It’s all uphill from here, I believe in you no matter what you choose to pursue.

    • @wesleycurrier13
      @wesleycurrier13 5 місяців тому

      First written / checkride is a big one to get over! Can’t promise exam day ever gets easier, but it’s all worth it in the end. Wishing you the best of luck finishing out the private. Whether it’s a for fun, or a career goal best decision I ever made. Catch ya in the flight levels.

    My great uncle has a helicopter, I’m pretty sure it’s a Bell 505, but he bought it in Boston and flew it across the country to Nevada where my family has a ranch, and he landed it there and gave pretty much everyone there (100+ people) including me, a ride. It was unbelievable, he flew us around the mountains where I’d never seen on the property before, we saw some mustangs (the horse ofc) and some other cool stuff. Someday one day, as Strad would say, I’ll have one! Awesome video btw, it’s been cool to have more content coming from the second channel. Keep up the awesome work!

    I got the chance to fly sitting in the front seat of a Bell 206 Ranger and it was an unreal experience. My grandparents lived on a runway, and we could taxi my grandpa's Cessna onto the runway straight from his garage. Nothing will beat my grandpa letting me fly the plane when we were up in the air, but riding in that helicopter was a close second.

    James, you could probably just get a crew in that backyard to level it out and add top soil for a few thousand. Weeds will grow for now, and it'll look a little more complete, rather than going all out.
