heli keep revert to Skaz on server restart?

My friend and I been working on a broken Heli for about 3 hours. finally got everything repaired and fuel up. Then we flew to the NE airstrip and along north edge of the map searching for tent city and hidden vehicles. A hours later we see a server message "SERVER WILL RESTART IN 5 MINUTES"

so we land our heli at the top NE part of the map just outside of the forest edge. and hit "SAVE HELI" like 5 times just to make sure it will saved.

after server restart, we spawn back in the same spot. but the heli is gone. After 2 hours of running we got back to skaz island and the heli is there again but its broken. ok, we decided to find parts and repair it again. 2 hour later, its ready for take off again. We flew it to the NE airfield and fuel it up. i think the server restarts automaticly every 4 hours. we saw the server mesage again "Server will restart in 5 minutes"

this time we decided to park the heli within the mainland of the map. (which our GPS icon shows in GPS screen.) last time we park the heli so far away, the GPS blue icon was missing.

After server restart, the heli is gone again!!! and one of us respawn on the beach.

Is this a server setting or its 1.7.2.5 bug ? We can seem to keep the heli at the same location after server restarts.

the spawning at the coast with all your gear is a bug in 1.7.2.5 and im not sure about the helicopter

I feel your pain.

I found the heli, spent the better part of 3 hours collecting the parts and fixing the damn thing, only to have it revert when the server I was on restarted. This has also happened with an ATV, Motorcycle and Pick-Up Truck.

The only benefit I see from this, we now know where to find the Vehicles when it gets fixed. Until then I think I'll just run.
