I am not a flyer but an engineer, there is lots of good stuff on this thread from many who fly them, as an engineer it is a good machine , watch out for corossion of the MGB because spare shells are like rocking horse ****, , they are getting old and all spares are becoming scarce , alternative is to fly a squirrel and put lots of money aside for turbomecca to swallow up, Allison engines are old but in the right hands cheap to operate. I once had a bolkow shear the engine plumbing in a major way due to vibration frequency in transational lift , the good news is it landed and the pilot didnt even know, thankfully i think it happened in the last twenty feet
!! old tech but good in the right hands!!
