You are quite wrong about the factory pilots and aerobatics.
As one who regularly worked with the Bell pilots at Mirabel - and knows the pilots well, I can state quite categorically that they do not, and have not, and probably would not ever dream of doing anything like this.
An extremely conservative and safe bunch of pilots.
I sincerely doubt that any of the pilots at Fort Worth would have done anything similar either. When I worked there, the chewing out I got for demonstrating a hovering auto from above the HV curve low hover point was quite enough, thank you.
If you are going to make comments like this, you had better be prepeared to support them.
