No, Mr. Zhou doesn't think that taking a helicopter pilot license test is the same as taking a driver's license test, right?
What? Others buy cars after getting their driver's license, but you get a helicopter license, so you can't just buy a helicopter, right?
Coach Zhang said he was very conflicted.
He didn't know how to ask Zhou Yu tactfully whether he really had such an idea.
However, before he could hesitate for too long, Zhou Yu, seeing that he didn't answer, added: "If our club doesn't have this model of helicopter for sale, it would be fine if you could provide the seller's contact information."
Coach Zhang: …
All right!
No need to worry about it anymore, it seems that the other party really wants to buy a helicopter.
I have received so many internet celebrities who like to show off that even my thinking has become misguided.
When those internet celebrities come to the flying club, they are all accompanied by a full set of photography teams.
Look at Mr. Zhou again. Not only is he dressed casually, but his car is also a popular domestically produced car.
The most important thing is that the people he brought were neither a photography team nor beautiful girls.
Someone who is both rich and free is definitely not comparable to those internet celebrities.
People may not be able to afford those luxury helicopters that cost tens of millions of dollars.
But for this Robinson R44 that costs around three million, people really won’t feel too much pressure.
After all, for those truly rich people, buying a car may cost more than this.
Thinking of this, Coach Zhang no longer hesitated and nodded hurriedly, "If Mr. Zhou has any needs, our Yunyi Flying Club will definitely do its best to meet them."
"Then I wonder how much this Robinson R44 costs?"
After receiving a positive answer from Coach Zhang, Zhou Yu naturally asked about the price.
The main reason why he chose this Robinson R44 when he first arrived was because it was the training aircraft of the flying club.
This thing is just like the car used in a driving school. You can say that its configuration is not good, or that its appearance is ugly, but you can't say that its reliability is not good.
Li Er bought the helicopter in order to find traces of the northern tribes.
Instead of wasting money on those luxury helicopters, you might as well buy this reliable trainer aircraft.
Not only that, if I learn with this trainer, I will naturally have less worries when I teach others in Datang.
I have decided to learn quickly. What if the model of the helicopter is different? Wouldn't I have to adapt to the new model before I can teach?
When Coach Zhang heard Zhou Yu ask about the price, he smiled even more broadly. He pointed to the apron and said, "The trainer aircraft purchased by our Yunyi Flying Club all have standard configurations. And because we purchase in large quantities, the prices are relatively favorable. If Mr. Zhou wants a private flight, I suggest you go for the advanced configuration."
“What are the differences between the standard configuration and the advanced configuration?”
Zhou Yu really knew nothing about helicopters.
After hearing Coach Zhang's suggestion, he immediately asked curiously.
Perhaps because he had already guessed that Zhou Yu would have such a question, Coach Zhang smiled and explained as soon as the question was asked, "The configuration of this Robinson R44 helicopter is slightly different from that of a car. The configuration upgrade is not reflected in the performance, but focuses on improving reliability and interior.
The advanced configuration version uses the Lycoming IO-540 six-cylinder horizontally opposed piston engine, which further increases reliability, but the engine power is slightly lower than the standard configuration version.
At the same time, in addition to the cruising speed, the maximum range and maximum ceiling of the advanced configuration version are also slightly lower than those of the standard configuration version."
When Zhou Yu first heard that there was an advanced configuration version, he was full of expectations.
I thought that even if I spent a little more money, it would be worth it as long as it could bring about performance improvements.
But after listening to Coach Zhang's introduction, he immediately lost interest in the so-called advanced configuration version.
Li Er's purpose of purchasing a helicopter was to expand the search range.
As for the improvement in reliability and comfort, it is actually not that important for the scouts arranged by Li Er.
Besides, even the flying clubs use the standard configuration version, so I think the difference in reliability will not be too big.
This is like buying a high-end version of an entry-level car. It's simply a waste of money.
If you have money to buy a high-end car, you can upgrade from an A-class car to a B-class car by adding a little more.
Compared with the upgrade of the car grade, the interior is totally insignificant.
After figuring out the difference, Zhou Yu stopped hesitating and said seriously, "Thank you for your advice, Coach Zhang, but I still want to go with the standard version."
"It's okay, it's okay. The standard configuration version is actually quite good. It will be easier for Mr. Zhou to use after he finishes learning it."
When Coach Zhang heard that Zhou Yu wanted to choose the standard configuration version, he was a little disappointed, but his attitude was still very enthusiastic.
If Zhou Yu purchased the standard configuration version, the commission he could earn would indeed be much less.
But when he thought about it, it was something worth millions, and Zhou Yu bought it just like that, so how could he dare not underestimate it?
Even if Zhou Yu chooses to buy in installments, it is not something he can underestimate.
But just as he was about to offer a few compliments, Zhou Yu held up three fingers and said, "I plan to buy three in the first batch, and it would be best if they can be in place after I learn how to do it."
Coach Zhang, who was originally planning to choose a lower-level player to compensate Zhou Yu, was stunned when he heard this.
"What the hell? You want to buy three at once? And this is just the first batch of orders?
No, are you planning to set up a flying club?
