You are correct that Hill seems to have the support of a number of apparently wealthy initial customers with good social media but I know a number of others who are stuck with R44s because they cant justify the cost of any current turbine until Jason Hill came along. They are also persuaded by the improved finish and interior of the HX compared with say the 505. In a number of countries private owners change machines for financial reasons every 5 years or less so Hill makes sense as the next purchase.....However even if Jason is successful the reality in many countries is that self fly rotary is on a downward spiral as a result of increasing costs, aggressive taxation and increasing regulation. The US seems to be the exception.
