Robinson Helicopter dealers who attended yesterday’s press conference said they are ready to place orders for the turbine-powered R66 currently under development at the Torrance, Calif. company’s headquarters.

Michael Russell, president of Prestige Helicopters of Chamblee, Ga., for example, said he could sell 20 R66s right away, to both individual owners and business operators. And Eric Gould of Canadian Robinson dealership Aerial Recon said he also could sell dozens of R66s, if they were available. However, Robinson Helicopter is not yet taking orders for the new model.
