Hello Ian,
really appreciate your comments. These comments are exactly what i was looking for. I had already read the Air Zermatts article. The ec130 is fairly new to the market, so its hard to find any good comparison when it comes to sling load operation and handling. True, the extra power benefits the Fenestron. Its a huge difference in the operation cost of the EC130 and the EC130T2 says Airbus.
Also once again, need perspective from people flew sling both models 130 vs 350. Thanks
