You're right. Dennis was a motivated advocate of the Enstrom products, and his enthusiasm lead to a lot of sales in the '70s, '80s, '90s....

Latterly, whilst I'm sure Enstrom employed some well meaning, dedicated personnel, it appeared more like a small family business than a forward pressing brand. Still think that the 480B is the 'diamond in the rough,' with the most potential, as a safe, easy, turbine trainer (for which it was designed), or private owner use.
