EC120 vs Hughes vs alot
I think you should definitely focus on getting in an EC120. Having flown it, the Gazelle, a Hughes/MD, and lots of others I quite like it.
The EC120 is the crispest, most well harmonized turbine single I have flown and with no AFCS or SAS. I hate the First Limit Indicator (FLI) but that's just me. The high skids make it slightly less sporty somehow that a Gazelle but nothing beats EOL in a Gazelle!!
Love to know what you think after the event.
