Flying Pencil - thanks for highlighting the hour building factor. Quite agree about paying up front for large chunks of time (unless you can guarantee to fly the hours rapidly...).

From what I saw on the website, it was around £200 if block purchasing 70hr and £245 if paying hourly (and taking into account exchange rate from SEK to GBP).

As I wrote before, I have got no link to this company but thought it was interesting to see the approximate costs being charged for a brand new type of helicopter. Given some of the earlier discussions in the thread about operating costs, it would appear that they are similar to the established training machines (R22/S300).

Of course, the company may be running it at a loss (or maybe just at cost) which would thus nullify my assumptions! Never-the-less, there is at least a vague indication of what one might have to pay to fly the G2.

Simon

Edited for clarification
