New R66

Hey guys I just took delivery of my new R66 wow is all I can say
I have had a R44 ii for 2-5 yrs great thing but u do get sick of sitting on a milk crate for hours
Last week end I flew the 66 Sydney to gold coast and back smooth cumfortable and roomy sat on 125-135 kts. Airspeed and smooth as. Used 80 ltr hr up and 81 lt hr home yea more than the 44 but going 20 per cent quicker And did I say more comfortable
2000 ft OGE hover 5 people 3/4 fuel no worries and flies same full or empty
Also I now have my nov 2009 R44 470 hrs for sale with factory bladders and everything else u would need for sale cheap as I don't need two helis
I also have another 66 coming this Xmas that I now don't need but that is another story
Yes I think the 120 is a better looking Heli but doesn't perform full like this
Cheers all
