Looks like you just crapped on two dead Bell pilots to me.
What I read in the NTSB report that came out regarding the dampening / vibe isolation (or lack there of) in the collective/power channel tells me that they were set up by the FBW system design.
Granted, those reports provide a particular view/perspective on such things, and are the limit of my understanding of that crash.
Is everyone else at Bell satisfied that the pilots screwed that one up or is that just you?
Regarding your disdain for Sikorsky: we get it. We got it last year too, and the year before.
