Gazelle - Horrendous running costs

MD500 - Supposed to be great to fly but not much room in the back - depends how often you're taking passengers.

I would go for an R44 Raven II or a Jet Ranger. Although a nice Jet Ranger ain't gonna be cheap.

Maybe get an older R44 Astro/Raven I if you budget is limited.

I think an R44 would be a better bet to lease back to a flying school.

Or if you're £loaded, how about a Single Squirrel? (AS350)
