Anybody flown a B2 assembled in the USA and flown one assembled in France? If one was to purchase a B2 is there a diference. I currently have a B206 and thankfully not an AB206 built in Italy!! :)
Any help would be great.

A lot of people consider the AB 206 to be better built that the Bell .......also there are v cheap parts out there for the older AB 206,s at a fraction of new cost ( I should know as i have most of them !!!! ) But there will be no difference as all 350,s are built by EC .

I believe that, until recently, all US A-Stars were assembled, flown and certified airworthy in France and then disassembled and shipped to the US for reassembly and delivery.
