AS350 V Squirrel
I have a family member in the southern hemisphere who has been tasked with exploring the suitability of one of the above for work in the sub ant artic. Conservation type work. Outside of my area of expertise so I thought I would ask the experts. All information welcome.

An AS350 is an Ecurieuil (? SP) which is a Squirrel. Or are you wanting to decide between a tail rotor and a fenestron?
Plenty of 350s used down there.

As above, AS350 = Squirrel if you're from anywhere but the states.
