About the Robinson Robinson R-22 Beta
The Robinson R22 Beta (1985–1995) added an optional engine governor, rotor brake and auxiliary fuel tank over the original R22, with the carbureted Lycoming O-320-B2C. It was the mainstream R22 trainer until the Beta II superseded it in 1995.
As an older airframe its price is driven almost entirely by hours remaining to the 2,200-hour / 12-year overhaul; budget examples start low but a near-overhaul aircraft can cost more all-in than a higher-priced Beta II.
Buy it if you want a proven, affordable trainer with plenty of choice on the market; step up to the Beta II if you regularly fly hot-and-high.
Produced 1985–1995.
