what is the total weight of the 4 of you? is it 600, 700 pounds? that makes a big difference
in a hot day at high altitude and at GW, it will be difficult to TO, just like in a 206 or even a R66 at GW
under that no sweat
any way its illegal to fly over GW and make the flight insecure
If you manage the parameters carefully it is a very enjoyable ship, good looking
and ultra reliable with the longest available time on component, unlike a 206 or 66
but the inspection at 24 or 144 month will cost you

We are approximately 800Lbs of 4 heavy lads and lasses. The ops will majorly be between the airport to my small town, no Jet-A or Avgas. Therefore, turn around with tankering. Elevation of the landing site is about 6400ft. Last leg come up heavy with about 20Lbs Each and 50Lbs in extra payload.
How much on average is the inspection cost in the 144th Month?
