I can't help thinking that we are stuck in a vicious circle. The high prices, limit the sales volumes, which in turn increases the cost of new products by forcing new manufactures to base the amertisation of R&D and setup costs on smaller numbers of machines.
I wonder if as a community of helicopter buyers we could act as a buying group and work more closely with willing manufacturers to secure a lower price if we could collectively order say 1000 units over the next five years?
