SAFARI 2-seat helicopter, 1997 model. Construction was begun in 2014 and completed in 2022. This helicopter has composite main rotorblades and stainless-steel tail rotorblades. It is powered by a Lycoming 160hp O-320-D2J engine with only 238 hours since a complete rebuild; engine was last run May 2022 and can be run for a prospective buyer. Additional Features: full instrumentation; avionics (Microair M760 transceiver, Intercom minus headphones, ELT); dual controls; doors; heater (cabin and carburetor, both electronically controlled); lighting (LED nav., landing, strobe and instrument); all logs (written + photos), prints and manuals. Helicopter is in very good condition; no rust or corrosion; never damaged. Always hangared. Color scheme: red and yellow with grey interior. The vibration-reducing upgrades for the main frame and tailboom have been completed. Also available: a rebuilt road-ready trailer with LED lights, electric brakes, low-mileage tires, and an electric winch and rear ramp for easily loading the helicopter ($2,500 extra). Flight Readiness: Making helicopter mechanically flight-ready primarily involves tracking and balancing the rotorblades. Otherwise, a qualified mechanic must determine what else, if anything, is needed. Provides all the performance of an R22 at a fraction of the cost. Located in Oklahoma. Can be shipped anywhere in the world; delivery available up to 800 miles for $1/mile + expenses. Owner selling because he has retired from flying.
