here's where I'm at....

Three things to think about for my mind. 1. Purchase cost. We have a turbine and were looking to not double the mortgage. 2. Running/ Insurance costs. Putting a lower time pilot on this one and doing the smaller jobs. 3. Safety for the aforementioned lower time pilot. The 47 seems very safe in the auto but is it more likely to get into that situation than the 300. I don't want a machine that is constantly parked in a paddock awaiting an engineer.
