The comparison is old and has been posted before. There are a few odd numbers in there if you ask me - for example, why is labour cost per man-hour listed at only
$55 on the S300,
$65 on the Robinson but
$85.71 on the Cabri?
Do Schweizer engineers work for less?
The listed price of fuel per gallon is different for each one, too.
What about the pathfinder "insurance" quoted for the Robinson, vs. real 6% hull insurance on the Cabri?
Are there any Robinson owners out there who can actually run a Raven I at anywhere close to $165 per hour?
Or is it that Cabri is simply posting realistic numbers, while Robinson is.. well... Robinson?
I think you need to take this cost comparison with a few grains of salt.
Nonetheless, with the Euro/USD exchange rate the way it is, unfortunately the Cabri won't become a common sight in the states any time soon.
