Well, I went into the Doo stealer. The sled I was interested in has been sold

The guy was going to buy a different one, but changed his mind.

He has one with really low miles on, but it has the original motor, which were major duds. 9/10 blew the cranks out withen 1500miles. This one has 800miles on it. The dealer does think that there is a one year factory engine warrenty though; it was put in place to help dealers sell used 07 800's, since no one was willing to buy.

So, I am just waiting for him to confirm the warrenty info, then I will take a closer look at it and maybe make an offer.

bummer on not getting the other one jason...

Its not too big of a deal. My 600 is lightly modded and goes ok

I would like to have that little extra power that the 800 would give me though

make sure first jason...

J_E_Summit · #**186** (**permalink**) 11-09-2009, 02:41 PM

Oh, don't worry, no warrenty, no sale.

Well, maybe a sale, but much cheaper then the asking price.

What I would really like to do is find a good deal on a 06, as they were pretty much trouble free, but no one is selling their's

Oh you know it Chris.

Shawn, I spent 8 months or so flying these old Bell 47's at school. They are so slow and heavy they make great learning machines.

Ive got a bit of time in these too. Im still new to the career so my flight time is limited.

I may go back to school during my time off to upgrade some stuff, maybe get a mountain course and some long line training in this.

It looks like they have lots. Do you think they would miss one?

Hah, yea. They are not common these days, with parts becoming hard to come by. I think they are moving to more of the Bell 206 Jetrangers, like in the third pic. The school owns the one in the last pic, but leased it to my work for the summer. Im going by the school today to visit, Ill check on the Bell 47 situation.

Just ask if I can borrow one for a bit. I'll take good care of it.

Wouldn't my wife freak out. Coming home from work and a chopper in the back yard.

J_E_Summit · #**191** (**permalink**) 11-09-2009, 03:04 PM

I have spent a bit of time as a passenger in 206R, 206L, and 205s.

I have never even seen a 47 in person though.

Feel free to share more pictures Pete

Hey Jason, what does a decent sled go for nowadays? Something used in decent shape.

Sparky83 · #**193** (**permalink**) 11-09-2009, 03:16 PM

nice choppers there.... i woulda thought them old bells would have been really light.. seeing as theres not much on them to make them heavy...

hehehe i love watching them do long line logging on them logging shows.. definately takes skill for sure...

found out why my truck was running so rich that i thought i had an "exhaust leak".... the wire on the 02 sensor snapped off.... so its just dumping gas down the TB...

Zip · #**195** (**permalink**) 11-09-2009, 03:18 PM
