After having both the 206 and the 505 I would say stick with 206 until the 505 is fully sorted ( don’t buy 2018/19 models . I operated mine for about 3 years and gave up due to so many silly faults , both design and manufacture. Other things such as horrible to fly in windy/ bumpy conditions when light plus C of G that was impossible to deal with without carrying big water Jerry cans etc . I would guess that mine was tech for 25% of all revenue flights which was , to say the least , disappointing!!
mother than that it was lovely and great power and viz !
