R44 crash

Hi Hughes 500.

The R44 uses IRO 55 litres per hour only.

I have had my issues with the machine - corrosion on my first one and now a blade swap at 550 hours, plus other lesser niggles. However, my overall costs are a fraction of what they might have been, had I gone the turbine route.

I'd buy a third….
