I can't answer an absolute like that but if you like I'll copy some of the old reports when I can (some searching in old Pilot mags)and give them to you next time. Then you decide. OK?
WWW, You can buy an ex-MOD Gazelle on a Permit to Fly now at half the price of a CoA version. Then form a kamikazee (or kote) group? Alternatively, (and that's what you wanted?) a Mini 500 heli (only c£15K) looks equally lethal, to the pilot, that is.
Whirly, A while back an aquaintance bought an Exec 90 and showed it off to all. After a good look around I said, "Very nice Pete, but where do you put your sandwiches?" He didn't keep it very long, because he was starving.
