We would have bought a 109 with skids had one been available. Skids we presume are better than wheels on soft ground and skids would be lighter giving better payload.

Is the Grande a rival to the EC145. The pricing must be very similar at least and they seem to be competitors.

There are new composite tail rotor blades in the pipeline to be a retro fit for 109/119. When? Don't know.

There has also been spotted a skidded Power or maybe it was a twin 119.

Maybe the wait won't be long.

Agusta Composite Tail Rotor Blades

I hear that Agusta are to replace the metal tail rotor blades on the 109/119 series with a chunky looking composite blade.
Does anyone know if this is correct, and if so, when?
