I'm with Dick as well . I got rid of my AS350 due to Turbomeca and would never run one of their engines again ( other than on PBH on my 505 when it arrives )
I now run a 109 privately for less money than the 350 . I certainly wouldn't pay even $10k for his repairs !!! Have you ever paid for or owned a helicopter Thomas ???!!!!! ........... I thought not !!
