I've been off line for a while so sorry for the delay in responding.
I've been trying to get back to fly the machine for some time, but it's been busy doing avionics and hot weather testing.
My impression was very favorable - great field of view, smooth, fast, nice displays, and a baggage compartment you could hover an R-22 in.
Simple in appearance, and a huge cockpit as well.
And you don't have to climb up anything to get in it - the cockpit door on the co-pilot's side was so wide that I didn't have to do any contortions to get past the collective head.
