Disappointed by the reviews
As a 66 owner/operator looking for the next step up, I’m quite disappointed by the real world performance of the 505. Payload not great, especially when you add a few choice options to it, and a range that falls well short of what is on offer from the R66.
It seems that wth the impending demise of the H120, there is a massive gulf in the single turbine market between R66/505 and B407/H130/Squirrel.
For me it’s very hard to justify the increased expense to buy and run between these two groupings. I would have loved it if AH could have brought out an updated 120 with a bit more poke with a price remaining in the middle ground.
What are the chances, if any, the 505 will receive any performance increase in the same way thto Cabri has?
