Without wanting to open up a can of worms...............how safe/unsafe is the R22?
I see it gets absolutely slated on this forum but probably by most who have never actually flown one.
I can have an hour in the R22 for £245 where as the Cabri is £320 and the R44 £425 all plus vat of course depending on the school.
So over an average of 60 hours the 22 is £14,700 ( £17,640) the Cabri £19,200 (£23,040) and the 44 £25,500 (£30,600).
Inc vat in brackets.
So obviously the R22 represents a big saving.
