Swiss Robinson distributor Valair Helicopter Services has launched a dedicated website for the R66 at http://www.r66-helicopter.ch to support their sales efforts in country.   Valair have been the official Robinson dealer for Switzerland for over 10 years, and are (as you would expect from this article!) also the R66 dealer.  In January they reported having two R66 on order with paid deposits, one for themselves and one for a customer.  Both are awaiting EASA certification.

Hansruedi Amrhein, owner and chief pilot of Valair was one of the 2 pilots chosen by Robinson Helicopter Co for the FAA test flights. A copy of Hansruedi’s field report can be found here.  Valair are planning aerial film work at high altitudes with the R66 in the future using a Cineflex V14 system.  Their main website is at www.valair.ch
