thomas what type of heli do you own or what sort of helicopter have you owned

i have owned a enstrom f28a ,f28c,f28f,f280fx and 2 480 ts ,md600, hiller 12c ,and [i did own a robbie 44 but it was a px for a 480 and i did not fly it just moved it on ]

i have found the enstrom to be a marvelous helicopter and i enjoyed every i flew it them it does however pis**s me off when people bad mouth a helicopter they have never flown or owned

i constantly get told enstroms have a problem with tail rotors ,starter motors ,ect i must have been exeptionally fortunate never to have any of these problems but when i ask what one did you have all i get is i didnt actually own one i was told by a friend so i normally say which one did he have and the answer is normally he did not have one either

the enstrom range of helicopters is by no means a lada of helicopters the whole range is a very safe [no deaths in the uk ever in one ] pretty good on costs to run ,quite fast,possibly the best looking of any piston helicopter .

pp heli
i traded in my enstrom turbine for the 600 as i wanted something that went a lot faster and safer without a tail rotor and its more quieter

now i have only the 600 for getting around the country for work and the hiller for slow fun.

sorry to rant on and i know i cant spell
