AVWEB says the price of the R66 is expected to be around $770,000. 5-seater.

OK Anne, I'd like the first dance, er, ride.
THAT would be a big step up from an R-22.

TT,
I had a chance to drool over it when I was at the Helicopter Convention last weekend. It is a nice looking aircraft. Frank took the already good design and added the new powerplant.
He asked me when I was going to put a down payment on one and I told him, as soon as I had enough work for it. (I'd own one in a heart beat!)
Note, approximately $770,000. I'm pretty sure it will be higher than that when deliveries begin, but it is still much lower than a new JetRanger.

Anne -- Look at it this way....a turbine helicopter for significantly less
than a new Baron. Even if it's $850K, that's a surprising price.

Yes, Robinson did a good job.
It is fast also, for a helicopter. And has more than 3 hours of fuel I understand.
