WillyWonka Posted December 5 Posted December 5 Hi there, I'm planning to do special helicopter training, and I have a few options: the Bell 206, Bell 505, or H125. The Bell 206 is the cheapest, but I’m not sure if I’ll fit comfortably. I’m 6’7” (202 cm). I got my license in an R44. I fit in it, but it wasn’t super comfortable. Does the Bell 206 have more space than the R44? If not, is the Bell 505 bigger than the R44? I tried to find a test flight for the 206 or 505, but there aren’t many available in my area. I’ve tested the H125, and it has plenty of space, but the training costs nearly three times as much. Thanks for any advice! Quote
Cod Posted December 10 Posted December 10 I have 500+ hours in B206. I feel it has less room than R44. I am 6-1, and headroom is tight in the Jet Ranger. Especially when wearing a helmet. Quote
