Jay Flight Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I didn't want to start another battle just wanted to know any differances in the 2 a/c I have read alot on them but the 119 is so new, there is no history on any problems with them and Im hoping to win the lotto on fri for the 25 mill and I can't decide on which one I would like to get for my training..... Did everyone see the forum is now over 30 000 posts...... on http://www.dgualdo.it/helics-a119.htm you can see the new tail rotor blades for the 119 to help out the problems they have had with the old ones..

Nick Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I was lucky enough to fly the 407 as a low timer and I'm in love with her but we need more info to answer your question : for what kind of job ? what kind of flights, etc... if it's just for pleasure : 407, if it's for serious buisness : 407 and about the winning ticket, I'm sure mine is THE One...sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I guess if that is your dream (win the lottery/buy helicopter) than you'd likley be rich enough to not have to worry about product support issues. Even if the 119 is a good quality ship, I would still shy away from it as there aren't alot in north america and you'd be taking your chances for sure (you never know...you might be the first guy with the "problems" if they start) but then again....i'm winning the jackpot...so I'll let you know how it goes <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ####, sounds like you're refering to the timeless aviators rule of "never fly the 'A' model anything" :up: ...those words have been said by many who have lived long enough to get old.

I wouldn't want to fill the 119 with my credit card but would the fuel burn be better on the 119 with a bigger stove in it?? the only other thing that I could not find is a cost?

downwash Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Yeah, and the Kamov's a lot better logger than the S61, so??? What do these apples to oranges comparisons achieve? Each of these birds is a star in their niche. And when product support is mentioned, "people who live in glass houses..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
