Bell 505 - twin rotor, articulated head; just like the Jetranger, which would be much cheaper. If you are happy with the head design, then a used Longranger might be in your price range. The L1 is a little underpowered (for me) but after that (again, for me) they beat a Jetranger (206 or 505) hands down.


However, for me, I would be looking at 3 blades or more and a fixed rotor head. I fly a bit in Scotland, and around the mountains it can get rather "interesting".


Seriously; blag a ride in several machines and get a feel for what they can do vs what you want to do
