See Robinson R22 helicopters for sale here. Robinson R22 helicopters are well known across the world. The Robinson Helicopter Company introduced the R22 in 1979. R22's have single engines and two blades and often categorized as utility helicopters. They have a steel tubing construction with the forward fuselage made from aluminum and fiberglass.
There are a number of variants of the original R22 helicopter. Robinson introduced the R22 HP followed by the R22 Alpha and then the R22 Beta. There is also a R22 Beta II. All of these helicopters look similar with the different variants providing upgrades such as engine size increases, rotor brakes, engine speed governors and auxiliary fuel tanks.
In the cockpit of an R22 you will find the famous "T-Bar" instead of cyclic sticks mounted to the floor. Because of the restricted cockpit room, the T-Bar makes it easier to get in and out of the cabin. R22 pilots report that the T-Bar is an effective way of controlling the helicopter.
The main rotor on the R22 is two-bladed and on the tail there is an anti-torque two bladed rotor. Earlier models have a throttle correlator which is mechanical and enables the pilot to adjust the throttle in line with the collective pitch. On the later models there is also an electronic governor for maintaining RPM during normal flight conditions.
Robinson R22 helicopters are very popular due to their performance, reliability and affordable price. You can see some fine R22 helicopters for sale here.
