Nigel H hopefully you will be behind me in the queue !!!
Next to impossible to find a good one at a sensible price. Bought my 500D for £ 160k in 1999 turned down £ 395 k last year for it, Lamented how many helicopters appreciate ? By the way I am 6 ft 1 wear a helmet no problem, spend 200 plus hours a year long lining, no problem. All parts are available from the factory, I use mine commercially so I should know
If there are machines waiting years for parts let me know and I WILL BUY THEM, cash waiting
