This Robinson R66 review was a fun one. Most helicopter pilots, including myself, start out in the small, 2-seat Robinson R22. Eventually some graduate to the roomier 4-seat R44. But at the top of the Robinson helicopter hierarchy sits the 5-seat, turbine-powered R66.

Here’s our test helicopter’s information explosion:

2013 Robinson R66
Base Price: $920,000

Rolls Royce RR300 Turbine
Takeoff: 270 shp (Derated)
Continuous: 224 shp

OGE Hover Ceiling: More than 10,000 Feet

Top Speed: 130 Knots (@MGW)

In this video, I take the controls of an R66 helicopter and review its interior, style, performance, cargo space, autopilot, and a ton of other details.

Special thanks to Steven Bush for taking me out in his Robinson R66 helicopter. If you need flight training, aircraft sales, or helicopter tours near Austin contact Lone Star Helicopters here: https://www.lonestarheli.com/
