where i will agree a 206 could be more suited to comercial opperations due to its design.but , for private use Enstroms are better suited to private owners

enstroms tend to hold their price or even sell for more, granted not allways the case but this is a helicopter after all

in all my enstroms except the brand new one i bought from the factory i either broke even or made a small capital profit ,the new one i lost some money on but i had a lot of use of it and the capital loss was a lot better than other marques

i often see enstroms that i either owned or knew how much they cost coming up for sale they all seem to be selling at good prices

the ones that lose shedloads of money seem to be the ones with no hours on components or for some reason been abandon[liquidation being one of them ] by their owners and have parts missing these projects sell for peanuts but that would be the same for most helicopters
