I am certain Sikorskys PR team didn't advertise that the 76A would have a maddening electrical system, fuel control systems that constantly require matching to balance together, gutless engines with a heavy airframe, kevlar that is coated in layers of bondo (bog, filler, goop...) to make it actually look straight, a VNE you can never achieve without overtorquing.

It shows that the C+ models are quite the better aircraft. I am sure the Tiltrotors and NOTAR will be the same. A few more generations and they will be all they advertise. I relish the thought of a tiltrotor. Sounds better than flogging along at 150kts.
