If the machine is going to be a hangar queen, why not buy something like an 206 L3 or L4? They cost a fraction of the price of the 407 and B3/B4 and have a better safety record.(Easier Autos).
paco-We operate AS350s and I would not change them for anything else. A 407 would not be able to do what we do.I think it was said earlier- the french products are good, but the after sales service is lacking BIG TIME.
It has not yet affected us to the degree where we would swap to a different manufacturer.I do however think that the Honeywell engine conversion on the BA and B2 are excellent ideas and can't wait for the B3 version.
These are just my opinions.Please don't loose sleep over them
