Robbie’s have mast bumping, AS350’s have servo transparency, jetrangers have LTE, etc., etc., etc..... Most machines have a weakness somewhere that we need to be vigilant with when operated at or beyond they’re designed envelope. I’ve spent a lot of time mustering in R22’s & shooting in R44’s, great machines even when pushed a bit harder than Frank intended.
Robinson tend to address pilot error with safety notices etc. whereas other manufacturers ignore it as it’s not their fault, credit to Robinson in a litigious world that they do that.
