Heli1 I'm only saying what I was told by Agusta people. where they have their information from I can only guess.
fact is though although being widely sold. it has some major flaws.
maint. is really heavy and time consuming.\
support on it is slow > IAW the people I've been talking to.
not to mention the tail rotor problems
Im sure there are pro's and con's as with other helicopters. but point is. IMO there are better options out there.
