It's got a big bum!

I prefer the D/E model to fly and look at. Not that I was complaining about the 520 I flew briefly, at least it was red too.

CYHeli, that is a really nice photo of the MD, love it! :D The bottom one well, I can't see much of the helicopter so no opinion offered on that one :P
A good idea needs landing gear as well as wings to get off the ground.

Peg - if I read correctly, you are around the 500 on a daily basis????? Learning or flying with AP this would be a great experience? We have a turbine machine close by, the smell, the sound..................stop me, I am salivating :cool_dc:
