I purchased the cowan r22 after recommendations and love flying it, feels very realistic,
i have 6hrs logged on fullsize.
Looking at next purchase-
is there much difference in the sim-flight models between the r22 and r66
The R66 definitely feels a bit bigger and heavier, but the flight models are very similar. Which makes sense, because they are very similar IRL. The R66 has a ton more power though. You won’t over-pitch nearly as easily.

I would say there are enough variations between them to warrant having both in your hanger.
The R22 is small with a piston engine ideal for short hops and honing those flying skilling doing circuits etc. I must get some more time in the R22.
The R66 has a turbine engine and better suited for some A to B cruising. Think I have something in the region of 60-70 hours in the R66 now.
