My take on it (for what it's worth) is that the Robbo's are targetted at the lower end of the rotary transport spectrum to entice those who are very comfortably off (financially) but not rolling in it. IE: The analogy in the car spectrum would be Robbo = Ford Fiesta, Jetbox = mondeo, 109S = BMW. [Based on a person who can barely afford a new car!].
They work, they are practical for what they were designed to do, but they don't do much for image
What they have done, more than any other helicopter on the planet, is introduce people to the rotary world, that would not normally aspire to 'defying gravity'.
From a business perspective, they must be a God send! Driving costs to a minimum (which is still a lot!).
What I discovered recently and wasn't aware of is that they are lifex'd on hours whatever components one changes. Once that airframe reaches that time frame, the cab is worthless..........
[For instance an R44 is lifex'd to say 2400hrs, the end.....can that be right?].
