I may well be wrong but i think the Bell 505 will have a huge effect on the price of all current 4/5 place single turbines . Around $1m for a brand new twin fadec , 125knot machine with open plan cockpit , large luggage bay , plenty of power , full glass cockpit , synthetic vision etc etc
Why would you want to spend anywhere near that amount on an old dated machine with steam driven cockpit ??
I may be proved wrong if it doesn't come up to scratch ...but if it does then all those machines will take a big tumble in resale value .
