You bring out the second one for under US$200K, and I will be saving my pennies. (Not as a trainer, but as a personal ship.)
I really like the fenestron tail rotor (are we talking about a 3-blade version of the Jagcopter?). My biggest problem with the R22 (the contents of my other post notwithstanding) is the carry capacity with full fuel, and my beef with the 300 is that (stock) it has absolutely no storage except the glovebox under the panel (if installed). Your 2nd alternative sounds like it would solve these issues with light piston helicopters. I want one!
