Tecumseh, I’m not in a position to comment on Boeing’s accidents with the CH-47 in the period after they entered service in the UK. For after market add-ins,one has to be careful when it comes to parts of the basic lift, drive and control systems. All I'm saying is that some rotary wing design and operating environments are unique. We didn’t have any actuator issues with the Comanche FBW actuators, but initially did with the Canadian MHP tail rotor actuators, which were sourced from a company serving the fixed wing community.
