Looking for "D" model to buy!

[HELO]

Greetings to all of you Hiller Owners.
I have owned 4 Hillers so far, and look forward to finding that last one that I will keep till my children sell it!
Thats why I am looking for a "D" model. I know they are scarce, thats why I am hoping you can help me.

An "E" is an alternative, but I'd just like to find that elusive "D" !

I currently own 2- Hughes 269A and would be willing to trade one or both for the bird of my dreams.

I love to talk about the Hillers, and can only pray that the factory will someday start producing more ships. Maybe the China deal will be the answer????

QUESTION: I have heard rumors, (actually I spoke with the factory about 5 years ago) about the possibilioty of putting a Lyc 0360 in a "C" model. Has anyone else heard anything about this???

Thank you
HELO

Any chance you want to lease/rent out one of your A models for about 200 hours?

I flew a 12C turbo a few days ago and its a pretty cool bird. I don't know of any D's for sale though.

Also haven't heard anything about the 0360's being installed either.

We operate several Hiller Soloy and some Bell 47 Soloy helicopters, the factory as far as I am concerned does not exist, at least not for the fleet operators. We are really dissatisfied with the level of support from the Type Certificate Holder. I hear there may be some PMA parts available in the near future for the Hillers out there. If it is coming from anywhere but China or Firebaugh, CA, there may be some hope for us all yet!
Good luck in your search.

Sorry, my 269's are strictly personal play toys. Don't want to bite off on the insurance.
Liability and hangar coverage is bad enough:):):)

I understand. I just wish I had the money to buy the TC for the Hiller line. I believe Hiller could be top of the heap with just a bit of marketing.
Anyone interested in getting an LLC together to buy the TC? We'll probably only need 20 mil or so...
Any investment bankers read this forum?

Adam,
If that TC ever comes available, I have no doubt we could raise the ante, provided the plan stacked up.
What a step forward that would be.

Hi Helo

Let me know a little about your 269As. I've got a nice D that is current and I'm using it for personal use I have had TH55s in the past and I might consider another one as they are a little less thirsty and I only carry one passenger usually.

oNE IS "CHERRY".. LOW time on all components, everything half life or better. Bought from a school, with a file cabinet full of records from day one!!
TWO is out of annual, with mid life to high time on components. Used to be a sprayer. Runs perfectly though. Needs cluster fitting mod.
BOTH have excellent blades !! Main and tail just through OH and inspection.

I'd value # 1 at 75K, and #2 at 48k

I'd be interested in #2. Could you send me the specs/pics of it?
