206 BIII costs vs R44
That's an interesting comparison, and no, I have never done the exercise. The R44 is a fine aircraft & Mr Robinson is a smart chap, no doubt about that. I am not up to speed with the residual values of the type as compared to the J/R, whereas you have done your homework obviously. I guess the problem is a little more complex than all the dealers present. If youstart with a brand-new machine then the comparison over a given period of operation (and the residual value at the end of it) is relatively straight-forward. Used machines, especially if part-life components have been installed at some time present a more complex number-crunching exercise. At the end of the day I suppose it is the market that determines the market value at any given moment in time. Sorry I cannot give you anything more tangible.
