You Can Buy a Helicopter on eBay: Here's What to Know

If you’re looking for a helicopter you can fly in, a trailer to pull one, or an industrial drone, then you have a good chance of finding it on eBay. From ultralights to used helicopters, eBay offers a number of used and new chopper styles for you to consider.

What helicopter items are available on eBay?

You can find various helicopter items available for sale, including:

  • New 2-Place Rotorway Exec 162F Helicopter Kit - This is not a used helicopter for sale but a top-of-the-line kit that is simple to build and fly. A professional mechanic has already assembled about 65% of the kit for you. Why not build and fly your own personal helicopter for a pilot and passenger?
  • Koax X-250 V2, industrial drone production license - If you’re a helicopter mechanic, then you can now build your own drones. You get 89 drawings of all the parts, 45 exploded drawings to help with installation, and a supplier list.
  • FlyIt Professional Helicopter Simulator in FlyIt 18' Mobile Classroom Trailer - Everything in this 18-foot trailer turns on and works well if the temperature is properly regulated.
Essential things to ask when shopping for helicopters or helicopter-related items

Here are some things to ask the buyer if the listing does not give you enough information:

  • Ask for more photographs - You want to see the helicopter or trailer from as many angles possible so you can easily understand the item's interior and exterior.
  • Ask for the builder or the brand - This is useful information if you are buying something that needs to be assembled.
  • Ask if you get a title - This is applicable for vehicles, such as a mobile trailer to tow your helicopter. Note that titles will typically mean annual registration fees.
  • Ask for specifications - Just like other vehicles, there is a wide range of specifications that each model will come with. Take some time to understand your needs so that you can ensure that your helicopters specs are within the range of what you're looking for.
Pilot licenses and helicopter ownership

The purchase of helicopters does not require a license. In some cases, however, you may require a license to operate one. For example, if you come across a Mosquito XEL for sale, then you won’t need a pilot’s license to fly one in the US, but you will need a license if you buy a Mosquito XE. This is a good thing to know if you are unlicensed and in the market to buy a helicopter.
