prob correct. So what?
if the biggest gripe you have is the timeframe then I’m ok with that.
I flew an R44 again over the weekend for first time in a year (normally fly my EC120) and just reminded me how basic and crappy the Robinson’s are in every aspect. Doors don’t even fit properly. And the R44 costs over US$600k and needs to be completely rebuilt every 12yrs.
If you guys think the Robinson’s are great then fantastic we are not on the same page.
