520 series Notar
Re 520 Notar Series.
As a Type TRE can I throw something into the pot.
Nick L's assessment covered all the relevant points nicely. The only downside I ever found was the reduced T/R authority in some configurations. Yes.... the final directional authority in a touch down auto.
Like Nick says. Notar is something of a misnomer. Really should be called the Movetar. (T/R moved INSIDE the t/boom)
With my heli sales hat on, there is always one acid test if you are concerned with its operational desirability and resale value. Just pick up the phone to a few specialist dealers and ask how much they'd pay for the model you may be buying.
That principle works for any helicopter. Nothing like backing judgement with your own cheque book !!
