Schweizer 300CBi

The fuel injected 300CBi is a very stable helicopter in comparison with other light two seater machines. It has a three-bladed fully articulated main rotor, making it much more tolerant of mishandling than are helicopters with teetering rotor systems, great for training and a little easier to fly than similar sized training helicopters.

The Schweizer 300CBi was designed for training and is used worldwide by many top flight schools. It provides an excellent alternative to the Robinson R22 for private and commercial training and it has an unmatched and a proven safety record.

It is also a heavier aircraft than the R22, therefore more stable and considerably more forgiving in general handing and autorotation. Another advantage being it's spacious cockpit which is good for the taller student, as well as it's much higher cockpit weight limit meaning a greater power margin if you are close to the upper limit other aircraft such as the R22.

Have a go at flying this superb training helicopter - you are bound to enjoy the experience and it does add another string to your bow, particularly if you're looking to instruct as a career.
