Enstrom

Take a good long look at the Enstrom. Its safety record is right up there with the 206. The company supports all the models it has built, so no more, 'Not Made Here' attitude that some manufacturers have. A very stable machine with good flying characteristics and comfortable. Up through the C model, they don't have a corrolator so the pilot will have to be fully attuned to what they are doing and what the engine is doing. The only pilots had I have found who bad mouth the Enstrom are those who have never flown it.

I would not get a straight or A model Enstrom. The normally aspirated engine is a little short of ummhp. The C model does quite well.
