The 505 probably has more in common with a 47J than an L4.

Had a look at one at HAI in Dallas and in all honesty it looks crude.

So much for an elegant and simple solution.

I think the cab section is made in Spain.

It looked to be about as elegant as an R22. Lots of screws everywhere.

Tubular frame - cables to the TR control.

I doubt that it will be as durable as a 206.

Time will tell.
