Question

Browsing the 'helicopter-ebay' for a second hand A109 IFR.
But a lot of ad's don't clearly specify IFR or VFR certified.

I guess the expert eye can see that on the equipmentlist:
but where to look for to rule out the VFR ships?
Most of the ships seem to have the AP/SAS/VOR/DME etc.

Also, should the A and C models be avoided, at any cost?
There are some nice looking lowtime older ships, but I heard
something about 'ghost' engine fire warnings and
high maintenance costs, low performance, versus the E models.

Any info appreciated!
