Well , ugly or not , it will be the best value new helicopter out there by some big margin !! Look at the avionics , the fadec engine from turbomeca giving 500hp and 3.5 hrs endurance ....
Look at the huge interior and massive luggage compartment . Then put the incredible Long Ranger head etc etc onto the package .
It should be double the price of an R66 but is scarcely £50k more I think !!
It is undoubtedly a massive loss leader and I believe will go up massively in price over the next few years .....that's why I couldn't resist it . I have ordered one !!!!
