It has always interested me why in Australia we have hardly any MD products (NOTAR generation anyway) kind of like the Enstrom, been around for 40 years or so (MD500C/F-28 etc) yet rare on our shores.
I understand that the 520N is a niche machine, really only good as a 4 seater and you wouldn't need one over a R44 for scenics, but as light utility maybe.
The 600N seems quite capable with 7 pax and C47 turboshaft, same engine as B407 and 1 extra pax station, is it consumer hesitation over the recent uncertainty of the company in general or local servicing/parts issues?
Would be nice to see some of these beasts in southern skies!
