Enstrom 480B

This helicopter on which I have flown about 300 hours in India is good machine. When I was converted in US, I felt it had bags of power but in India that is less than 30 degree latitude where temperature was generally more than 20 degree Centigrade and humidity high with lots of dust, has limitations of power, specially when it was air condition.
In UK, things will be better than what I enumerated above.
Keep the helicopter well withing dead man's curve, it will behave. Further a word of caution, keep an eye on its belt's tension and the trimmer!!
Happy landings!!
