My 2 cents on Franks 22....
Spent over 6500 hard hours in them mustering/shooting and other relevant Australian bush tasks and I was never let down or did I ever feel unsafe. Even when operating over gross weight at crazy DA's. If maintained by good engineers and you do a good pre flight that machine will keep on going very honestly. I have friends that have over 15,000 hrs in them and they will say the same as me.
Great machine, very reliable, very safe, and lots of fun if flown correctly.
