Best advice is to think carefully about what you want the machine for, then go and ride in anything still on the list.


I am with VP. Owned and operated 120s in the UK now for just under 10 years. One hot start - a SFH who treated it like a Jet Ranger. Cheaper to keep in the air than an R44 (I ran one alongside for a while, and I have the invoices to prove that the 120 is cheaper to maintain daily). Yes, there are costs for engine overhaul but any turbine will have that (according to its own schedule).


All the above says is; the 120 is the right machine for me. It does not make it the right machine for you. Anyway, your location just says "UK" but if you are anywhere near Redhill then PM me.
