New UK heli flight sim - odd aircraft choice - 429?!
 
https://www.avfoil.com/helicopter/helispeed-purchases-entrol-simulator/

Why have they decided to base the sim on a Bell 429?! There's only 6 on the UK register and a couple more on the Manx one. Surely AW169 or H145 would make a lot more commercial sense?

Maybe it was going cheap?

Cheep is the sound of a bird: without need of aviation fuel.

Mmmmm .... to stop some people going to Spain?

It would be a very good question to ask Helispeed as they don't have a full ATO, don't have an IFR approval, have no IR course, don't operate a 429 and the only 429 based at Blackpool is about to be replaced by an H160
