Exterior Colours

Helicopters can leave the factory painted brilliant white. This gives owners the flexibility to decorate the exterior as desired. Perhaps adding the particular branding, decals and logos of the company, flying club and/or training establishment. This is easily done with adhesive vinyl, and can be installed by any competent company, locally.

.

Otherwise, the basic (factory painted) colours are:

  • Emerald Green

  • Sapphire Blue

  • Pearl White

  • Ruby Red

  • Camouflage

Luxury Interior Design

CRdV Design Studio

My goal is to make sure that all aspects of the interior cabin, are PERFECT. The texture of the leather, every stitch, and carpet fibre must blend into a comfortable environment. I’m proud of my Italian heritage and it’s a matter of personal pride that every aircraft and helicopter, wherever it may fly, metaphorically speaks Italian.

Note: The interior in this picture is not from a Hummingbird, although we use exactly the same seats, materials and centre console.

Certification & Permits

Country Registration

The helicopter leaves the factory with a FAA N-registration, under a trust. The beneficial owner can reside anywhere in the world, without having to be a citizen of the USA. Thousands of aircraft operate in this way.

Should the owner rather have it registered in their home country, that can be easily done, with the export from the N-reg, It’s only a matter of paperwork, depending on the destination country. We do however recommend remaining on the FAA register, which allows for worldwide operation, expect where US-sanctions are in effect.

Note: The FAA N-registration is included in the selling price, but the applicable VAT and/or Sales Tax in the destination country, are for the account of the owner. We highly recommend that ALL taxes are complied with.

.

Insurance Cover

The helicopter is insured by RapidSky, while the factory. It’s also covered for the initial delivery flight, until the keys are in the hands of the eventual owner. Thereafter the insurance can be cancelled and/or transferred, as desired. Our insurance broker can assist owners, on an individual basis, before delivery. Otherwise, all insurance is the responsibility of the owner. Due to the excellent safety/track record, insurance rates are quite reasonable.

.

Delivery Service

The completed helicopter is flown directly to your doorstep, anywhere in Western Europe, and the keys placed in your hand. For all deliveries outside Western Europe, the complete helicopter is shipped in a 40ft container.

  • Delivery in Western Europe is included in the selling price. An experienced pilot will fly the helicopter, literally to your doorstep, or to the nearest general aviation airport. The delivery flight is insured by RapidSky Limited.
  • Shipping costs worldwide are obviously a wildcard, and calculated at the time of completion, depending on the eventual destination. These costs to be paid by the owner. The shipping cost should also include all insurance.

.

Factory Warranty

Every helicopter comes with a one-year, back to base, factory warranty. This applies to the fuselage, engine and rotors only. All other equipment and avionics have a separate warranty, as per the supplier, detailed on delivery.

.

Training & Conversion

This helicopter is relatively easy to fly. Obviously, adequate helicopter training MUST be received beforehand. RapidSky can assist in that regard, by including the first 10 hours towards your helicopter license, in the base price. If already a qualified helicopter, those 10 hours can be used for type training. The venue to be discussed.

Your time to fly!

The jocular definition of a consultant, is someone who borrows your watch, to tell you the time. We dispel that, by actually giving YOU a watch. The latest and greatest model from Garmin, specifically designed for aviators. Currently it’s the Garmin D2 Watch. It communicates with all the Garmin avionics on your instrument panel.
