PUP,
I wouldn't worry about heartbeats, I'd have a serious look at an EEG if I were you. Your point is that all bad EH-101 news is generated by folks out to get it.
In Canada, it is a shame that Agusta doesn't have designers of the calibre of its lawyers.
I see newspaper articles about bad maintenance, facts about extremely high accident rates, and facts about very poor availabliity. These you say are "tricks". How about some facts, PUP? Did the EH-101 have 5 crashes or not (making it the worst helicopter introduction in memory)? Did the Canadians say it is 3 times harder to maintain, or not?
