Giro, my thoughts exactly... I went to do the RHC safety course just after i had ordered a new raven 2 and was completely gobsmacked that new machines just out of the 5 hours flight testing were being used for the courses.....Franks attitude to this is that these are his machines until they are handed over to the new owners- its very much a one way conversation!
however my machine arrived safely and i cant get too excited about it now....the instructors are highly experienced and responsible people. so no harm done i guess...
