@gullibell,
accidents happen, cause there is a chain of events, failures.
If you need to nurse a helicopter cause it was designed so, every unexpected gust can lead to desaster, cause you’re already operating at the edge of its envelope.
With a proper safety margin from design, even a unintended excursion outside the envelope would only scratch your pride but won‘t take your live.
and I can tell you, once you‘ve operated a powerful machine and have felt the advantages, you won‘t like to go back to a bird you have to nurse to get things done!
