Congratulations on the purchase. I can only reiterate what I've said before. We've had one for 8 years/800 hrs and it's hard to fault.
I run one without blade tape - requires some extra maintenance (wiping with ACF-50 regularly), but I'm convinced it flies, better, smoother, faster. Changed the Landing, Nav and strobe lights to LED and much improved.
My son learned to fly a 480B when he was 16 and has made a few videos. This one gives a nice impression of the helicopter and the spacious cabin (although best as a 2+2)
