Yeah, I've flown both too, and yeah the Enstrom is a really nice and well built helicopter, but I'm willing to bet that what makes people chose that R44 time and time again, is that back seat.

The Enstrom holds three like the R66 holds five,...and like my Trans Am's back seat holds anyone with well, legs!

As for myself, a guy recently tried to talk me into switching from an R22 to an Enstrom, and my answer is always the same,...price. The view from the cockpit is the same, so why pay more?
