Take a Helicopter Tour

DealDash.com is coming up with some new and truly unique auctions.

One of the new auctions is a helicopter ride. Have you ever wanted to take a ride on a helicopter? Well, now you could have your first opportunity to do just that.

This auction offers the winner a 25-minute scenic helicopter tour for two to enjoy breathtaking views of key sights while flying above Los Angeles, California.

According to DealDash’s description of this amazing experience, the winner of this auction can take one other person on this helicopter tour with them but other spectators are welcome to come to the airport and take photos from the ground.

A certified helicopter pilot will point out several landmarks on this customized tour. Some sights you can expect to see (but are subject to change) include:

Los Angeles Basin
Downtown L.A.
Hollywood Hills
Hollywood sign
Downtown Hollywood
Grauman’s Chinese Theater
Dolby Theater
Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Paramount Studios
University of Southern California campus

All passengers must have a valid form of identification. Weight restrictions apply. The maximum weight allowed per person is 300 pounds or a total combined weight of 600 pounds for the winner and one guest. Your pilot will provide protective headsets for each passenger. Comfortable clothing and rubber-soled shoes are recommended.

Gratuity for the pilot is not included and the winner of this auction must provide their own transportation to and from the location of the airport where the helicopter rides are to take place. In case of inclement weather, you will reschedule directly with the pilot.

For more detailed information, check the description of this auction on DealDash.

Brief History of Helicopters

According to my research, many inventors and engineers from all over the world built prototypes of helicopters after 1912, many of which were used in the first two world wars.

The first helicopter to attain production status was the Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 Drache (English for Dragon). This helicopter was developed by Germany during World War II. However, production was hampered by the Allied bombing of the factory, so only 20 were built.

Igor Sikorsky is credited with creating the first mass-produced helicopter in the United States.

The VS-300, designed by Igor Sikorsky, first took flight on Sept. 14, 1939 at Stratford, Connecticut. It was built by the Vought-Sikorsky Aircraft Division of the United Aircraft Corporation. This was the world’s first practical helicopter and was the first to incorporate a single main rotor and tail rotor design.

Turbine-engined helicopters can reach around 25,000 feet. But the maximum height at which a helicopter can hover is much lower because of the thin air at greater heights. A high performance helicopter like the Agusta A109E can hover at 10,400 feet.

The first transatlantic helicopter flight took place in 1952, but the first non-stop transatlantic helicopter flight did not take place until 1967.

The Sikorsky X2 now holds the record for the fastest helicopter in the world. The helicopter first set the unofficial record in 2010 when a demonstrator model reached 287 mph but since production has achieved faster speeds

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a unique Christmas gift for someone special in your life, this might be an auction you might want to win – especially if you are already living in or near the Los Angeles area where the helicopter airport is located.

The best part is even if you are not able to win this auction you can still BIN it for only $260.00.

DealDash Tips Helps You Save Those Bids

DealDash

Conserving bids on DealDash is important, especially if you are on a budget. Here are some tips from DealDash to help you.

There are plenty of easy ways to save money by utilizing DealDash. I know you’re a bidder who likes to save money. Otherwise, why would you be interested in bidding and BINning on DealDash? There are lots of little tricks that you can increase your chances of winning a DealDash auction for something you’d like. Continue reading to find out more about conserving bids.

Kick Back and Wait

Kicking back and waiting until more folks withdraw from an auction you want is a quick and easy way to save hard earned bids on DealDash. If you begin watching an auction and there are a few or more bidders taking part in the auction, if you kick back and stand by you will have an opportunity to conserve bids on the items that you really want and need for your home.

Of course, there is a No Jumper rule, meaning you must place at least one bid before the auction reaches $5. Occasionally there is a special promotion where you can not place a bid after $3. If you want to conserve your hard earned bids, a great way to do that is not to bid continuously. If you’re bidding on a higher priced auction such as a laptop, television, or vacation, though, this can be a super strategy to save yourself some bids, and therefore, money.

Conserve Bids by BINning

Additionally, you can also save some money by BINning (Buying It Now) an auction that you haven’t won. If you have placed a ton of bids toward an auction and you still aren’t the winner, you will be better off doing a Buy It Now on the product.

When you don’t care to bid any more, just press the button that says “Buy It Now”, and you will be taken to a screen where you can settle up with DealDash for the item that you have been bidding on. After paying, all of your bids will be returned to your account. Additionally, you will get to keep the time that you racked up when you were bidding on the auction. Initially, you may feel a tad dispirited when you don’t win an auction. Happily, though, when you BIN it you will see each one of the bids reappear into your bid back and it will brighten you up.
