Boerne-based helicopters owners typically operate out of Boerne Stage Field (5C1, in Boerne). T-hangar community, owner-pilot heavy, Cirrus and Bonanza density. We also work Stinson Municipal (SSF) and San Antonio International (SAT) for owners with hangar arrangements across multiple fields.
Service specs · Boerne
Built for Boerne owners.
Boerne is one of our densest mobile-detail service zones. The combination of luxury Hill Country homes, RV-resort proximity, and a thriving private-pilot community at Boerne Stage Field means we work the same areas weekly. Most Boerne jobs are home-driveway service, but we also work resort sites and hangar floors.
Owner profile. Cordillera Ranch and Fair Oaks Ranch luxury homes, weekend wakesurfers towing to Canyon Lake, Class A diesel pushers at Hill Country Retreat, and Cirrus and Bonanza owners home-hangared at Boerne Stage Field.
Helicopters are unlike any fixed-wing aircraft we work on. The cabin is a bubble — typically acrylic that needs Plexus, never glass cleaner. The landing gear is skids that pack mud, gravel, and brush dust from off-airport landings. The tail boom collects bug strikes and exhaust soot on turbines. Above all of that, sensitive rotor systems that we do not touch — main rotor blades are inspected at every 100-hour interval, and any unauthorized cleaning could affect that inspection. We work the airframe with extreme care: canopy, doors, skids, tail boom, intake guards, vinyl interior, leather seats. We do not clean rotor blades. We do not touch the main rotor head grease. We do not polish anything on the rotor mast. The pilot or A&P handles all of that.

Helicopters protocol — Boerne edition.

Bubble canopy acrylic: Plexus or PlastX cleaning only. Fresh microfiber per panel. Inspect for crazing and report findings.
Doors and windows: same Plexus treatment.
Tail boom: bug-strike pre-soak and removal on turbines; oil-residue degrease on piston helicopters (R22/R44).
Skids: pressure rinse, scrub for caliche and mud, polish painted areas.
Cabin interior: vacuum, leather conditioning (Bell 407 / AS350 leather interiors), vinyl wipe-down (Robinson), screen-safe avionics cleaning.
Intake guards (where present): clean by hand, never water-spray. Engine cowling polish.
Fuselage exterior hand-polish — never rotary on sensitive sheet metal.
Registration markings (N-number) cleaned and protected.
Final walk: rotor blades visually confirmed untouched. Photo log handed off.
What's included.
What owners always ask.
Yes — Boerne Stage Field (5C1, in Boerne) is part of our regular service rotation. We coordinate hangar or ramp access with the FBO or owner ahead of every appointment. T-hangar community, owner-pilot heavy, Cirrus and Bonanza density.
No — that's an A&P or pilot's task and is connected to maintenance inspections. We work the airframe only. The pilot or maintenance crew handles all rotor system cleaning. This is non-negotiable.
Yes — our aviation liability rider covers ground operations on rotorcraft. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance to your hangar or operator before the appointment.
No — we use Plexus or PlastX exclusively with fresh microfiber. We've trained extensively on acrylic care. Crazed canopies on Robinsons, Bells, and AS350s are something we've seen often (from other operators using glass cleaner) — we never cause it.
Yes — caliche and Texas backcountry dirt come off the skids with pre-soak, pressure rinse, and brush work. Painted skid covers we hand-polish after cleaning.
Yes — Stinson-based flight schools, Hondo training operations, and EMS bases (AirLIFE, AirEvac, etc.) are regular customers. We can work between missions to minimize downtime, and we can handle multiple airframes in one visit.
A Robinson R44 standard detail runs 5-6 hours. A Bell 407 with full interior leather conditioning runs 7-8 hours. An AS350/H125 with heavy tail boom degrease and full cabin runs 8-10 hours.
A Robinson R22/R44 standard detail starts at $600. A Bell 407 or AS350 with full interior leather runs $1,200-1,800. A Sikorsky S-76 or larger corporate rotorcraft with full restoration runs $2,000-2,500. Quote after walk-around.
Park it. We'll handle it.
Same care, every job. We come to your Boerne driveway, dock, hangar, or storage site.
