I would love to know how an earth they survive, is it just money from the Blackhawk and grossly overcharging the US Govt ! How can a pitch link be $ 1300 the exact same thing from MD for their 500c models cost less than athird of that! Only 2 conclusions is that Skiorsky are either taking the piss or can't get something simple made at a sensible price.
This one goes out to you Hughes500 :

"Still, the company has commitments for aftermarket service for the 2,800 light rotorcraft in its installed base, Hunter says. Post-production services and maintenance on light helicopters netted Sikorsky $10 million in 2014, “a decent business for us”, Hunter says."
