I am biased because I bought the EC120B. GPS and Skymap, Floats, and an ELT to fit. Pics from the Hull trip at Eurocopter EC120B Colibri, G-FEDA, John Henshall

UK trips:
Four up, Redhill to Hull with overnight baggage in one go.
Five up, Redhill to Birmingham.

The weights are published so you can do your sums to see if this works for you. Oh, and at max weight downwind hover-taxi can be "interesting".

On the plus side - cabin and view are fantastic. Ship has been sooooo reliable. Running costs have been (so far, touch wood) less than for an R44.

Do I regret or wish I had something else - No!
