I made a HUGE change...

[@BeckiandChris]

What a beautiful machine. I know it’ll be a scorcher but I vote leave it black but I’m a bit biased 😎 Would love to see a tour video showing all the nooks and crannies, cargo space, seat configuration, panel, all of it! -C

Show 👏

[@Beet5090]

Transitioning from steam to G1000 is definitely one of my favorite aspects of modern aviation so far. I've been flying glass for two years now and still have barely scratched what the G1000 can do. Cool stuff, nice bird.

[@AustinClaborn]

Couldn’t agree more. With all the cross country I’ve been doing I’ve been playing with them trying to figure out all that they’re callable of

[@milesbrown8016]

We know that Bell makes really good helicopters. And are pilot friendly. Years ago with the Bell 47 from Mash, that really got me started…. 👌🏻

[@hondo500e]

Wow what an awesome video. My whole perspective on the Bell 505 has changed! Fly safe!

[@AustinClaborn]

As I learn more and more about it, I continue to be impressed myself! lol

[@explorandoconorlando4789]

The whole process/story sounds awesome! Such a beautiful machine.

[@AustinClaborn]

It was a blast! Thank you!

[@devinbowen5466]

Watched the whole process on your Instagram!Beautiful, jealous of your daily heli

[@AustinClaborn]

Than you've gotten to watch the whole process! Thank you!

[@ForTravelsSake]

Sweet! Becki and Chris are going to be so jealous! 😉

[@AustinClaborn]

Haha! they've got nothing to be jealous of! That matte black on their 44 looks SO good!

[@sheepdog1102]

What a beautiful helicopter 😊

[@stensonhamann5031]

So sick man! Hope you can bring it down to Baja sometime soon!

[@Big.Ron1]

Sweet. My plan is to buy one and do my ad-on later this year. How many hours did you have when you bought it? When I was your age I couldn't afford a helicopter or even a new Chevy PU. I am envious in that respect. Enjoy and be safe.

[@rotorplayron1087]

Beautiful! 🤩

[@AustinClaborn]

Thank you!

[@DevilDolphin734]

I was watching the Reno Air races video on Matt's channel and when he said you do helicopter stuff I was like, "oh yeah, I'm subbing!"

Gotta keep things interesting somehow! Lol

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

@@AustinClaborn lol I know Austin. Just giving you a hard time. I've been working on helicopters since dirt was invented. Hope she's treating you well.

[@zoeweinlader6934]

This is totally wicked!!

[@taylorwade2841]

Thinking about upgrading from the R-66, what do you estimate the yearly operating costs?

[@Swiftss]

You don’t have to answer, but what is your job, these helicopters are hella expensive, I’m new to your channel so don’t judge me to harshly xD Your channel is an inspiration and I’ve always wanted to become a helicopter pilot :)

[@jamesj8764]

You ever find out?
