Hello John,
What a strange idea to live in a big country
! So you have to leave your job and move to Sydney
I see your point but infortunatly, the price of the G2 will not change a lot.
Robinson has find the perfect business model to sell a cheap helicopter.
G2 and R22 don't have the same price because they don't have the same charasteristics.
Has I said, for the same cost, I would prefer to fly 50 minutes in a G2 than 60 in a R22.
Just the sad question of choice between price and charasteristics. (and that's why I don't drive a Caterham Superlight R500
)
