R22 and Cabri purchase price
GS -Alpha
Please enlighten us all as to how you came up with the Cabri costing £100k more than an R22.
I couldn't make it anywhere near that.
Chalmondleigh's figures look right to me.
Please be aware that the illustration he gave specified "ex works" prices. So that's ex works near Marseilles for the Cabri and spend a few hours flying it the 500 nm back to, say, Lydd or ex works California for the R22. Looking at Chalmondleighs figure for the R22 it must have included the disassembly and crating up for air freight as per R22 price list on Robinson's website today.
Hiring a R22 for £210 inclusive of fuel and VAT sounds a very good deal but does that include an Instructor which is what Matteymoo2 was enquiring about?
