I'm attempting to collate a list of helicopters that are less than or equal to 760kg's Max Take-Off Weight. They can be either single or dual seat, although I realise there will probably be nil 2 seaters in this weight range.

The list is for registration in Australia under RA-Aus registration.

Would anyone care to continue my list?

R22 - 635 kg's

What do you guys think of those CH7s in terms of reliability? Would you fly in one? With the twin boom supports and such, they look like a big RC heli.

Any more takers? What does a Schweiser (spelling?) come in at?

Schweizer 300C & CBi empty weight begins at 500kg but an instrument trainer is around 580kg. Max GW for a 300C is 930kg, max GW for a 300CBi is 794kg.
