520 NOTAR for longline

Hello gentlemen,

looking for your help, like many times in the past!

A friend is looking at buying a used (about 10000 hrs used) MD 520 NOTAR and wants to put it to work for longline and exploration work (Hydroelectric and Gold mine projects).
Now my personal experience with ANY Hughes/MD product is limited to 45min as a passenger some 16 years ago (damn thing got me hooked on helicopters....). Never even sat in one again since ....

I read this and that about the NOTAR and I am not a real Hughes/MD fan (very subjective for complete lack of experience....), so I'd rather ask your experience/opinion/facts on this specific type and intended job.

Give me the good, the bad and especially the ugly about it!!

Thanx for your time on this thread!
