That is the most fuel efficient copter I know of.
The worst expense in operating a helicopter is not initial purchase or fuel bill, but the annual liability insurance. There are also very few places (off airport) where a copter can land twice.

What is the work?
Why can the copter not land twice in the same spot?
I was thinking maybe I would fly for a career if I go through all the training and log the hours, but I have no idea how much demand there is for pilots.
