Hmm, i am curious as to where this will fit in, private owners who wish to upgrade from 44? it would certainly need to be a cheaper turbine option if you were to fly hire. I hear the 100 hr costs are not much more than a 44 and fuel usage between 19 & 23 galls hr, i suppose that would depend on how it is flown & weather conditions etc.

However for hiring out / corporate use you would need to start with a 120 size. Only time will tell how well it does but for Robertsons sales options will include overseas military use, law enforcement will attract sales................
