Actually, a lot less then you think..... e.g. I was looking at an advert for a used R22 which was £140k about the same as a really nice car.. What would you rather have ?
@@john3Lee Aircraft cost is in ownership such as maintenance is where the expense is also helicopter training is expensive more then fixed wing. Decent R-22 is well north of 100k the ones that are less then 100k generally have engines that are nearing their hour limits.
@@john3Lee It's not about the cost of purchase, it's about the cost of ownership (especially if you buy it on the cheap with the service life almost expired). Also, if you think flying helos is easy...
Hey Micah and Evie! Congrats on your new 🚁! Looking forward to some great videos and am so happy that you want to take us all along for the ride 😊! See you soon!
I passed that helicopter twice a week going paddle boarding on lake Lewisville... always cool to be paddle boarding and watch that person come home in it and land it... congrats!
I sympathize with anyone who suffers from motion sickness. What works for me is cut a Dramamine in half and take half every 4 hours. No drowsiness and no motion sickness. Congrats on the new helicopter.
I could tell from the pixelized thumbnail image it was a R44. I had gotten the impression you had a bias against Robinson. It looks like it's in very nice condition.
Micah, so glad to see you airborne again. What a beautiful R44! Even room for a cache of puke bags for that unexpected turbulence! And A/C - a necessity IMHO. Congrats on your new family addition. I look forward to future vids in your new airship! 👍
Wow! Gnarly! Bravo Zulu (congratulations) to both of you on the new helo. That's just too rad man. Looking forward to seeing more aerial adventures.👍🏻👊🏻
I was a crew chief in the Army in the early 80s and my favorite memory was flying cross country to trade in our old technology helicopter for the newer technology helicopters. Ford Ord Ca. to Corpus Cristi Tx. I think we had 5 or 6 in our group.
Micah, too cool! You bought my neighbor's helicopter! I flew in it last year, great machine. I live down the street and have an R22. Wish I had known you were here!
Great choice! A/C- Wow! Are you switching to flying in the right seat or will we be seeing Evie fly from the left seat! Will there be an optional third rotor blade in the future? And last, but not least- Evie is a real keeper! What a great flying family!
WAIT! The dude had a wooden heli pad in his back yard! Gotta love TEXAS!
Neighbors had a party when Micah picked up the R44
Yes! 😬
*Don's right, neighbors pitched in ten percent.*
“Honda Accord of the sky” - my first thought when I realised it’s an R44 was the Toyota Camry of helicopters.
My first thought was, disaster waiting to happen. I wish them the best.
Can't wait for the L.A flyovers. Also, Congratulations on your new Helo
After watching this video I finally had the idea of owning my own helicopter
oh dang, Evie with the aviators and headset, the pinnacle of cool!
Congratulations, beautiful Muzio family!
"how do you buy a heliopter?" With a LARGE amount of money.

@@john3Lee a car because i dont know how to fly heli also i like in a 2bhk conde where the f i will park this elephant

what happens if the engine fails mid flight?
For Evie....buying this helicopter was in the bag! Literally! Always great to have y’all in Texas!!
Enjoy your new helicopter! Hope you and your family enjoyed your time in TX!
The stunning chopper looks new...and a wound-up Micah, he's extremely happy!
Woohoo! Congrats on the new bird! It's a beauty.
Congratulations! Can't wait to see the trip back home!
Wow...such a beauty helicopter.
Oh man Micah, you just made a lot of folks' year with this purchase, your family and your audience. Thank you. More LA from the air.
Anxiously awaiting "would Evie fly it" 😂🥰 congrats 👏
He already gave up the left seat!
The hand-clap seat switch is going to be even more impressive.
Hey Micah and Evie! Congrats on your new 🚁! Looking forward to some great videos and am so happy that you want to take us all along for the ride 😊! See you soon!
CONGRATULATIONS!! You and the family will have a lot of fun in a R44!!
Congrats guys! Looking forward to some new helicopter vids!
That was my guess and I am happy for you. I believe that is a fantastic choice. Looking forward to more content. Be safe.
I just took my first helicopter ride ever and it was in the R44 Raven II. I was stunned at how quiet, comfortable, powerful, and fun it was.
Well Done! It's absolutely exciting for you to be once again airborne. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
Congrats Micah, can’t wait to see you flying up the Orange County coast.
Whole lotta wires around that takeoff (yard)...nicely done, Fly Boy & Mrs Fly...!
Congrats again! That R44 looks good on the Muzio’s.
So stoked on the upcoming XC vids! Long distance helicopter flying can be grueling but also just an amazing experience. Can’t wait!
Very nice !! Happy to see you back in the saddle.
Nicely done! Can't wait for more new helicopter videos.
Congratulations! Great choice, beautiful paint, and the A/C takes it to the next level! Enjoy your new whip!!! 😎👍
Can't wait for the trip back videos!
Congrats Micah! Beautiful helo. Looking forward to the SoCal scenery again!

That's what I thought as well.

I kept waiting for you to do the specs in an “information explosion.”
All The Best With your new purchase Time For a KBB Raise✌️👍😀
Congratulations, good for you. I knew it was coming and it looks like you made a wise decision. That’s a beautiful helicopter!
Excellent news! I love going for rides in the helicopter 🚁 with Micah and family ❤️
Congrats Micah, great news!
I'm really excited for you, congrats on your purchase!
Congrats to the both of you
Great to see you got a nice helicopter to meet your needs and want. I am looking forward to more Heli videos now..
So happy for you Micah! You and the family are in for a world of wonderful trips and I can hardly wait to see some of them.
Congrats! More power to your channel
Congratulations Man !!
CONGRATS!! 🎉🎈🎊
Congratulations on your new helicopter. I'm looking forward to all the videos on the channel.
Congrats! Looking forward to seeing more adventures!
Congratulations!
Don't bank the R-44 to avoid birds as hard as you did in the Enstrom. Teetering rotors require gentler inputs.
Congratulations 🎉
Congrats Micah. Looking forward to the cross country back home.
Congrats, so fun
I will miss the other heli but this one is clearly more versatile. Happy flying!
Love the color and glad you are back flying, love your all’s channel!
Congrats!! Looks well maintained. Looking forward to more great flying!
About time! Lol. Discovered you during the quarantine lockdown last year and loved your flyover vids.
Hopefully a welcome back to them soon!
