Hi Henri,
Im afraid the R22 is not my bag, I like the 44 and 66, but 22 is a bit limiting if you want to go anywhere. Very cool reg though!
In terms of cost, there are some very simple things that can be done that could make recreational helicopter flying massively more affordable and desirable. There are some ‘old truths’ in light aircraft manufacturing that are not so much ‘truths’ but constructs that serve only to maintain the status quo. It’s remarkable what can be achieved if you remove those constraints.
I’m sure something exciting will come along in the next few years...
