R66

For ascj,

Would I actually buy one .. I don't have the $1million handy just now but thinking the question through, and as much as I liked the R66, I suppose I'd have to say 'No' simply because I'm an Enstrom fan and like the space, the fully articulated handling and multi-blades of the 480B. Then there is the occasional fifth seat. But to return to the Robinson, the turbine 66 was the smoothest ship I've ever flown out of thirty-three rotary types .. how much of that was due to John Mik's 'tracking' know-how, I couldn't say.

I'd bet a few bob that she will prove a surefire hit, especially with the loyal Robbo fans. But that wouldn't be the first time I've got a sales forecast badly wrong. Dennis K
