RotorHorn,

Thanks, one of these days someone will bring a Power down here for us to play with.

The Power certainly seems to need the extra fuel that it is supposed to be able to carry! (FWIW, Stinger was specifically quoting figures for a C model) I'm vaguely surprised that the cruise isn't up on earlier models, although one major problem that we would encounter if a Power came down here is the weight increase putting the E model into Transport Class A. CASA is paranoid once you move up from Class B (<2750kg), and the increased maintenance and record keeping is both painful and expensive. Do you have the same problem with the CAA?

Italian cars and helicopters: if it isn't leaking oil, there's something wrong
