Factory A/C for the R44?
I hear that RHC will start taking orders for R44 Raven II's with factory installed air conditioning early next year. Third-party manufacturer's were charging about $50,000 for an a/c system (had FAA approved STC); however, I hear one of those companies (the one in Florida) isn't doing too well. My questions are:
1) Approximate weight of the system?
2) Effectiveness of the system?
3) Reduction in performance?
4) Test Pilot Comments?
5) Ballpark costs?
