I always wonder if the pilots of the Beavers, Otter, Twin Otter consider those designs substandard to the ‘’real’’ flight controls of other types in the same way as pilots have such hate against the Robinsons cyclic design?
Although the Robinsons are not my favourite by far (for a number of other reasons) fact is that despite this design, they are one of the most sold helicopters in the world….
In my hours in them, I can’t remember any instance that I blame on the cyclic design. Actually it makes entry and exit a lot easier than any of the types I’ve flown.
