Yeah, I love the 22, and I'd take it over anything to just fly around for fun, but given the choice between a 44 and a 206, I'd pick the 206 (even if it is slower and the tail rotor isn't as good).
It just seems like the bigger the Robby design gets, the more issues it has. Plus, just putting a bandaid over that "chugging" thing while never finding its cause still makes me feel a bit uneasy getting into one of those. I'd still take a job giving rides in one over the Summer, but it'd always be on the back if my mind,..which kinda sucks.
