Robinson Helicopters of Torrance, Calif., arrived at Heli-Expo armed with orders and prepared to sell even more of its piston-powered helicopters. The question on everybody’s mind, though, is whether CEO Frank Robinson will finallly launch the R66 this year.

On display at the company’s booth (No. 2715) are two R44s (a Raven and a Raven II), making a brief stop here before delivery to CG Helicopters of Tamiami, Fla. CG was recently named Robinson’s dealer for the South Florida region.
