...maybe just rumour, but I heard they had a number of 505 orders in Guatemala - after the 1st delivery all others cancelled...

I would think - 505 using most of the 206 gear and switching the RR for the Arrius (which loses out on the RR above 6000 ft) - seems the 505 is NOT very impressive in HOT and HIGH and HUMID.....

As mentioned - if you need something else than a 66, get TWO 44s!

Or find a good used 206 and soup it up with the new blades!!
EC120s are going cheaper now too!
...or find a light 350.....
