OH-58 for Civilian use

In the case of the military LOH OH-6A you can license it in the standard
catagorie and use it as you would use any H-500C or D by documenting all the
components serial numbers and times. If the component is new but with out
records you may be able to "half life" the component and still operate under
the standard license. Or replace any componet not in compliance with the
AWC. I have seen several of these used in turbine transition training ( not
first hand but on the internet). This may or may not apply to the OH-58 but
why not? The manufacturer may have significant leverage in this for
liability reasons, not sure. You could still train yourself in it licensed
Experimental or restricted, its under 12,000 lbs.

just an opinon mindya

Can anyone speak to the problems and challenges that I might encounter
in purchasing a OH-58A+ . I plan on using it for primarily for turbine
training but was wondering if there were any income producing
activities that could be done under the restricted designation.

Thanks
