I flew one for a flight test article for Today's Pilot a while back. I too really liked it - nice to fly, great fun, and more spacious than the R22. But underpowered (even compared to the R22), and no governor...which is not a big deal really but is a point worth considering. And an owner I talked to said you really do have to enjoy the maintenance as much as the flying.
