Ah...the truth at last...never mind the window size...the pitch stability...hand held calculators ( made necessary because the FAA requires a Weight and Balance computation for each takeoff)...and all that....The Truth of this argument is the Bean Counters shall determine which aircraft is the winner....not the pilots, engineers, mechanics...sales types or PR spin masters.

Both machines are probably a pleasure to drive...but for me...I prefer the idea of driving one of Nick's homebuilts to a wrong way turning French built thing. I know the reputation of the Sikorsky machines and how well built they are....afterall...names like 55,56,58,61,64,76,53, 60, and now 92....are industry standards.

There must be a reason the large EC machines have not caught on over here.
