Cool

Head turner, thanks, never considered a fh1100, they are pretty unique dont think there are many around and parts would be tricky to get hold of, but worth considering.

fair point about the increase in wieght on the raven 2, not much gain (35lbs difference) but there is the extra speed and new rotors being quieter, again does the whole package justify the $50 k extra? any opinions?. pop out floats i will consider and thanks for the radar alt, will add that to the list of extras, a valuable piece of kit.

is it better to find a low hour second hand R44 (2), which has eaten most of the depreciation? if so any ideas on good sites to search on?

this has been a great help so far, much appreciated. cheers.
