You guys are tyring to compare apples to oragnes to pineapple

UH1H is not a 205, there are lots of structural differences.

a 205 A1++, has the -17, the 212 drive train and running gear (tail rotor), tailboom, with he strake you will have even more of a difference.

you can compare it to a standard 205, or even a uh1h with composites and the 703

It will out work, out lift, out perform all the other above aircraft.

if your looking at cost why not a lama vs the B3
you can pick one up for 1/4 the cost of the b3 and chrage the same money. The b3 will out lift it unitl about 8000' then you start gaining ground

what i would want to know is how it compares the 212eagle single. the 212s has the 11200 mgw and the big pratt

Dyncorp and Temsco were working on something similar for the 205, with a differtn engine and upped gross weight.
