Although the 205/Huey is a great helicopter if you are going to try spraying with it think carefully. What are you spraying? If your intention is to get in on the corn run there are a lot of farmers/growers/agronomists that won't use an aircraft of that size because if you have to take off over the crop the downwash flattens it leading to yield loss. We run an early model 206 and it's a phenomenal workhorse, we rarely have any trouble with it, even though it's nearly 45 years old. We do primarily spraying, wildlife surveys, etc with it.
