Happy Xmas to you, a pound or too heavier like all of us i suspect

Every helicopter type has its foibles the small ones tend to show them more than the bigger ones, in my experience

341 have to be careful doing spot turns in a strong wind due to size of rear fine so can be easy to over torque
342 with optimised fenestron a load better
500 massive pedal movements due to powerful tail rotor on a short lever arm
520 have to anticipate with feet like no other
206, sluggish tail rotor response, older ones not great
350/355 can be a bastard to land from a low hover
300 has an interesting roll in hover taxi when wind from one quarter
Robinsons, probably more issues than any other type, but as is said fly it within its limits
Enstroms, most have no guts what so ever ever, so have to be on your game

Treat each type with respect and get someone to show you how not to fly it !
