I tried to pm you but you need to delete some private messages as your box is full ......
Basically it is an amazing helicopter and I am sure you will do very well buying one before the price gets significantly hiked up . As I have said before , it is a 5 place L4 with a glass cockpit for 50% of the price of a new L4 based on its final price .
i believe they will appreciate in value and be cheap to run in comparison to say a 350 B2 . We flew at near max weight with high temperatures and we climbed out quick with loads to spare . Top speed in cruise was 128 knots but 120 knots felt
gentler . Tail rotor authority was very good and the ride was incredibly smooth . Go and buy one !!!!
if you want to fly mine it will be here and ready to fly by the end of the month ....
