For those of you whose minds will never change, just ignore this post.

Everyone else who is interested in where Robinsons really stand in the grand scheme of things, there was some reasonable and semi-extensive discussion in this thread without a lot of drama:

Another Robinson crash

I continue to stand by my summary statement in that thread, which, paraphrased just a tiny bit, was: Robinson's have a history, of that let there be no doubt. But at the current state of evolution of the designs, and SFAR 73, it would seem that, for the past few years anyway, performance and safety are comparable to other helicopters when operated in a manner consistent with lightweight, low inertia characteristics. At least based on US data. Outside of the US it would seem things are not so rosy.
