New 206/407 product at HeliExpo 2012
Stopped by the ParAvion booth and was briefed on a new product being introduced: portable ground handling wheels for the 206 & 407. Unlike the Bell supplied wheels, these are small enough and light enough to be carried easily in the helicopter and come with a fitted nylon carrying case. Not intended for everyday use, but more for the case where an emergency or other event has you at an airport/FBO without suitable ground handling equipment to get the helicopter into a hangar. Workmanship appeared to be world class. Not inexpensive at $2900 the set, but one use under some circumstances would justify the price.
