Personal Helicopter Handling Made Simple

A gray and black Airbus helicopter with the tail number N5SH is parked on a paved surface, with yellow ground handling equipment positioned under its landing skids. Trees are visible in the background.

For many helicopter hobbyists, the joy of owning a private helicopter is often overshadowed by the frustration of ground handling. Other popular methods—personal helicopter towcarts, wheels, and dollies—can be clumsy, time-consuming, and downright dangerous. When you’re itching to lift off for a solo cross-country flight or a quick weekend joyride, the last thing you need is to spend precious time wrestling your helicopter into position.

That’s where Chopper Spotter can help. Our personal helicopter handling solutions transform private helicopter ground transport from chore into convenience. Our remote-controlled, electric-powered equipment allows you to safely handle your aircraft by yourself—without the need for a “wing walker”—so you can focus on what you love most: flying.
