Robinson Helicopter Company has recently received FAA certification for the new empennage configuration on R44 and R66 Turbine models, now featuring a next-generation symmetrical horizontal stabilizer.
After years of development and rigorous testing, this modification—now EASA-approved as well—delivers significant improvements in stability, efficiency, and maintenance.
Through the end of December, you can purchase and install this major upgrade through Eurotech (authorized Robinson service center) for just USD 3,600.00.
What's New
The key innovation is the new symmetrical horizontal stabilizer, positioned further forward on the tail boom than the original design. This advanced engineering solution delivers:
- Enhanced high-speed stability with reduced roll tendency
- Smoother control response for more predictable, comfortable handling
- Doubled TBO from 2,000 to 4,000 hours, meaning less frequent maintenance and lower operating costs
- Better aerodynamic efficiency thanks to the new symmetrical airfoil
This configuration comes standard on new R66 Turbine helicopters and can be retrofitted to R44 and R66 models currently in service.
Limited-Time Offer
For R44 and R66 owners, Eurotech is now offering installation of the new EASA-approved symmetrical stabilizer at an exceptional price: through December, the kit is available for USD 3,600.00.
From 2026 onwards, expect the price to roughly double.
