480 vs R66

Who (as a private owner rather than operator) would want a squirrel / enstrom sat in a hangar mounting up maintenance bills for 3 months of the year when the Robinson owners are all out flying and enjoying themselves for less cost??
B47 has hit the nail on the head, I'd say
Agreed, whilst the 480 may be regarded as the "Ford Mondeo Estate" of the helicopter world, the comparisons to the R66 in both price , performance and running costs should leave it trailing in it's wake.
