simpleton Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 150+ hrs in the 120......enough to know they're garbage. an old clapped out JetRanger will outperform an EC120 any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 The EC120 is a great little helicopter. Keeps a pilot honest and does pretty well what the Flight Manual specifies. Fantastic visibility, large cargo capacity, energy attenuating seats, crashworthy fuel system, quiet.......too bad about the end of production. Our customers and many other helicopter users will not permit their personnel to fly around in a " old clapped our Jetranger". I'll take a garbage 120 any day of the week - you keep on keeping on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0T0R Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I have just shy of a grand and if sold properly, it’s dust fine. If you keep it out of the mountains and fly within the limits, it’s a great A/C. Most issues I’ve found are easily remedied with power management skills. The people that are used to an AStar or use the transients on the jet ranger always have problems flying this machine. It it is under powered but I’ve moved trees with it in the summer and had had the thing at gross weight all the time in the flat lands of Alberta with little issue. Calling it garbage is a bit much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpleton Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Well, given how many have been sold, and that the production line is now dead, I'd say the market has spoken as to how good the machine actually was......... But heh, if you're stuck with one in your fleet I guess you have to tell yourself it's awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
