    Good morning Becki and Chris
    Thanks again for taking us along on your helicopter adventures.
    I appreciate hearing the radio tower calls so that us non pilots can hear how that goes, because we all want to become helicopter 🚁 pilots and have fun adventurous life you guys.
    Thanks again guys

    That's cool! Instead of picking up a local A&P you'll have a road trip (IFR) and camp out. It takes 4 hours to break the whole thing down to parade rest and 4 hours to rebuild it. With run on torque. Sounds like a fun ride! Don't freeze to death! 😉

    KTOA is a nice airport. I picked up my SLING there in 2018 and flew it back to NY. The flight back was awesome, and all VFR, you guys will enjoy it. Make your last stop Sedona, restaurant on the field, beautiful scenery. That will put you 4-5 hours out from KTOA.
    Can’t wait for the series.

    Recently discovered your channel and have been binging through your videos! The production quality of them is absolutely amazing. As an experimental helicopter owner, the concept of the helicopter expiring and having to factor in the remaining hours of the helicopter and the maintenance costs associated with that is completely foreign to me, and it's fun to see your planning out all of your adventures around it. I'm on the Vermont/New Hampshire border, and your heading east series convinced me to fly over to Lake Champlain and down to Portsmouth sometime this summer. I make videos, but I don't have any skill to edit them to anywhere near your quality. If you find your way back this way, I would love a chance to say hi!

If you have the time or need more hours, Canon Beach, Oregon has an amazing beach. Catch low tide and you will see amazing sea life in the tidal pools. The haystacks have birds including Puffins! I was on the beach at sunrise to enjoy the low tide and early morning. Definitely a place for photos and video. I would love to see it through your eyes. Oh, I can't forget to let you know, I bought your Millennial Falcon sweater and your notebooks! I think you have made some great products!

    One question (fixed-wing pilot, rotary wings are magic): is the 2200hr/12yr limit a Robinson thing, or a general all-rotary-wing thing?
    May all your parts come in time and hope the 50hr doesn't find any surprises!

    • @BeckiandChris

    So when my brother told me he and his former wife got to ride back home from Vegas in the big car. That meant the company’s private jet. So flying in style to the maintenance hanger was outstanding, felt like we were with you and zipped there. Then finding a “someone’s big car” home, don’t get me wrong I like both (who wouldn’t) but I am becoming a R44 bigger fan.

I live over by universal studios in Florida and there are a lot of helicopter tours that fly above my neighborhood, at least 1 every 15 mins.

      There are technological solutions, but they're very costly and not practical for most light civilian helicopters like an R-44. The military has designed engine noise suppression methods and rotor blade designs that greatly reduce noise for "stealthy" insertion of troops, but $$$$$$$ and probably also classified.

      I’m a fixed wing guy, but I’m pretty sure he’s either misinformed, or he’s really just trying to solve the problem in the way that he finds optimal. AFAIK, he, being the owner and having insurance, should be able to pick up the bird himself. At worst, he might have to pay a ferry pilot to fly the bird for a short flight, which is small money in the grand scheme of aircraft ownership.
