Enstrom 480B
Hi - I'm looking at buying a helicopter and am looking at an R44 for reasons
of its popularity, low entry costs and the fact that that is all I am licensed to fly. However if I could get a second hand turbine reasonably cheaply, I would be interested. What is the group's views of the Enstrom 480B? On paper it looks a good proposition. Can anyone comment on maintenance costs, operating costs, reliability etc? Thanks Andrew

Enstrom 480B
As an former employee of Enstrom, I can tell you their 480 was an
awesome machine. Now that they have the load rating up and the elastomeric dampers are tuned it is a nice machine. You can fit real sized people in the Enstrom too. The R44 is a big R22.
