SAS,

I never said you have a monopoly, I most of the time admire your experience. Itˋs only that sometimes you seem to forget your first sentence above yourself��. But I also often like your provocative responses. ��

As for the response - Megan beat me to it. But I would also add that it is the combination of the R construction with the lack of experience. I used to have ratings for the 22&44 and have flown them both commercially, by the way. If somebody asks me about Robbies I always respond - EVERY helicopter can be flown safely within its „frame“, but the Robbinson frame is far too small for me, nowadays!

Regarding the plank pilots I think what R means is that they have a tendency to dive away when you need to avoid something which means a pushover that is not healthy in Robbies.
