As I recall from earlier discussions with a Fumey rascal in a dingy bar in West Africa....he told of the cruise performance of the Tiger being reduced after it was discovered the main GB's were wearing extraordinarily quickly. HC...can you confirm that as being true? The guy purported to have been a management type....from the way he consumed other people's beer and played golf to the exclusion of anything but his drinking...I think that might have been the truth....thus I suppose his statements were true about having to reduce the amount of pitch being pulled for cruise. Any truth to his statement?

Thus can we put any reliance into the performance numbers of the 225 as being promoted? Are they very similar to the current Bristow Tiger numbers now being experienced as to power settings and such?

The 92 is still too new to know for sure....at this point...for sure the 225 is too new.
