While heavy in roll, after a few hours in the airplane you don't even notice it and it feels like anything else. Agreed, have a few hours with Sean S in them and they are heavier on the controls but no way dangerous.

No matter how many pushups you've done, flying in strong turbulence/strong winds, you cannot get full aileron deflection with one arm, so you'll have to take your hand off the PCL. This happens all the time even with our 5000+ hour guys.
So far, I've had to execute one go-around because of this. Hit a nasty gust/rotor and couldn't keep the plane straight with just one hand -> PCL forward and had to use two hands on the yoke to keep the thing under control.
Dangerous might be a strong word, but it is very uncomfortable. 47-> are smooth as butter compared to legacies. Flying a legacy on a good day, no problems at all. I actually prefer the control feel of a legacy. It's when things get a bit sporty, you really miss those Flettners...

There used to be one for sale that was all decked out executive style. Wish they didn’t require 2 pilots. This one has 25k TT. Sheesh

Not a beater freight dog, but a decent airplane for business and family travel. Can you find one for $1.5M? John John, In the current market, you will need 2m to find something decent. The /45s are in demand and limited so many of the lower time airframes have gone up in value. Also if you need 10 seats, those aircraft go for a premium. Most of the aircraft that were delivered with 8 seats were only plumbed for oxygen for 8 seats. Adding the oxygen and additional seats is 80k+. You could just add the seats but not legally. The good news is that if you do purchase a /45 or /47 you will most likely get that value back and possibly more when you sell.
