Description

SOLD - Sellacopter is excited to list this 2017 Robinson R44 Cadet helicopter. This immaculate machine has only had two owners since new and is ready for its next mission. With only 172 hours total time since new, this helicopter has a ton of hours and calendar until the required overhaul. The aircraft has a six-hole VFR panel, pilot side bar mount, and air conditioning. Unlike the Raven and Raven II platforms, the Cadet has an increased hourly TBO to 2400 hours, making the aircraft ideal for flight schools and private owners. With very little used inventory, this R44 Cadet will not last long. Contact the team at Sellacopter for additional aircraft information.

About the Robinson R44

The Robinson R44 is the world's best-selling 4 seater helicopter — a four-seat (four-seater), single-engine piston aircraft and the most popular civil helicopter of the modern era, with more than 6,000 built. Introduced as the Astro in 1993, it evolved through the hydraulically controlled Raven I (carbureted 225 hp), the fuel-injected Raven II (245 hp), the float-equipped Clipper I and Clipper II, and the two-seat Cadet trainer. All variants share the same basic two-blade rotor airframe and a 2,200-hour / 12-year overhaul cycle (2,400 hours for the Cadet), making the R44 a global benchmark for private ownership, training and light utility work. Used prices range from around $50,000 for an older Astro to over $700,000 for a low-time Raven II.

Produced 1993. Total produced: 6,500.
