Having said that I don't feel that the R66 is particularly hi tech either in design or avionics !! Maybe you are right but I am betting that a modern cab wrapped around the best 2 blade and teetering head in the world , combined with the latest glass cockpit will make a pretty good aircraft !! Anyway the deposit is only $75k which will produce a multiple return if it does work ... So I see it as a no lose bet . Only time will tell and in the meantime I am quite happy with the venerable old 109 which has dropped to such low prices that it is no more expensive than most singles to run . ( thanks to loads of machines being parted out due mainly to the c20 containment rings . This is based upon about 4 years of flying the 109 and 20 years on 206,s and AS350 )
