I remember back around 1990 these little things were about 130 k Today 400k...... pretty much the same as the original. Today's greed will destroy us !!!
I started flying them in 1985... They're simple and reliable compared to many other helicopters. Contrast with an Enstrom with Lamiflex bearings that wear out and often are unobtainable for months and months. The only thing is, they're not great for student pilots and private owners who don't keep current. They're very nimble which is great for an experienced pilot, but can bite hard for a rusty or inexperienced pilot. Like any helicopter, there are flaws; things I'd like to see changed. But they are the most affordable helicopter in the world. If you fly them cautiously, and treat them with respect, they can be great machines to fly. But like any helicopter, you can get in over your head very quickly if you're not cautious.
When I worked at the factory years ago it was $124,000 and a used one today can fetch 70,000 with time & hours remaining
Was this video, simply, a loop?

🤣🤣🤣
Too expensive for the masses.
They have used ones for just over $100,000
The French Cabri is a superior helo and will bypass the R22.
But at what price for those that worry about money? Some don't and I get that.
these are scary machines,you couldn’t pay me enough to fly in one.
