Long light single is probably ec130 / 407 sized helicopters.
Then which helicopters fit into the Short Heavy Single category? Perhaps the Bell 205 because that accommodates 15, is longer than the Bell/EC120 (above) but is also a bit "fat" when you look at it from the front. So it is both long and fat and heavy! Would that make it a Fat Heavy Single or a Long Heavy Single? And the single-engine Huey Cobra, what is that - a Slim Light Single or Long Heavy Single?

"Rubbish Business Talk"
Agreed.

Robbie has nothing on this if it meets the specs.
The quicker people forget about Robinsons the better.

During Heli-Expo John Garrison hinted at a sub-$1 Mil price.

I can't believe that, but it would be fantastic if true
To be honest, market-wise it wouldn't be worth doing unless it was under 1m. Should be possible if they are using the old 206 running gear.

However, in case they have any problems, Bell's financial safety net is that the TT straps are going to be replaced every 500 hrs or every 12 months, whichever comes first!
