ROBINSON V-8 POWERED AIRCRAFT
Operating Costs
The engine operating cost reduction available with the V8
installation is significant. When you couple this with the
increased range and multi-fuel capability, you realize
substantial gains in operational flexibility. Additional savings
are provided by the exceptional reliability of the modern V8
engines.
We have not included these maintenance savings in the
Operating Costs chart. |
