Thumbs up

Thanks for that guys,

Yep I am aware that economics needs to be considered as well as my own personal needs etc. I am a consultant and my client base is all over the country thus prompting my interest in purchasing a machine. As for hangarage, I have made preliminary inquires at our local airport.
The biggest problem is what could I get with the budget I have and what about insurance etc ?

I am nervous about a R22 in that if I do lease it out and it does by chance end up in a training environment....who knows? ....I was once a 'pupe' as well....lol. So far my initial tendencies are toward an R44 or something along that line but I just dont know.

Any suggestions.

Cheers
Mark.
