Don't believe everything you see. 'Dulux' overhauls can easily obscure a 'piece of cheese' helicopter. ZK-HOM case in point (the H500D pic taken at dawn with the WARS rego 'A' on the side)
Sure looks are pleasant but I would rather be chugging around in something that hadn't been dinged and panel beaten to fit into the jig again and had genuine hours logged against the drive components.

Thats why B3's arn't popular on Ag work...you cant rip the hours off

That wouldn't be the only reason, you would need a serious business plan and work to back it up, to use a B'3 on Ag work
