You want one? L.A. Sheriff is selling all three of theirs. Although they are the "newest" of the fleet, they are the first to go (fleet is being replaced by AS350-B2's). And that has every pilot except one, dancing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .Really, although the new "YSAS" helps them, it only covers up the problems they have. They are a 500 frame designed for 420hp now putting out 600hp+. They are having cracking problems in the internal structures. And I do not believe we have seen the last of it.. .. .They are a handful in turbulance. In a right hand turn, the fusalage covers the airflow over the tail (at slow speeds) and due to this, it will tuck its nose down and spin to the right. You can stop it, just that it will do it. L.A. Sheriff has always practiced full touchdown auto's (and have some bent frames to show), but will not do it in the 600. If there is a crosswind, the 600 will turn itself into the wind during the flare, and you can not stop it. Add the 400 foot+ skid to go on top of it after the flare.. .. .They have wind limitations in relationship to weight and altitude, which puts a big damper on it operating at high altitude.. .. .Nick will be able to say it better, but look at the rotor blades. They are designed for the 520N (okay, the 500 with a foot more), not the 600. All they did was put the sixth blade on. You can point to most of the problems with it as the blades not able to handle the power and weight.. .. .And it really needs hydraulics!. .. .But it really is fast. And accelerates faster then most any other ship.. .. .Transition is fairly easy if you have NOTAR time. It you have no NOTAR time, it takes getting use to the tail and how it reacts (slow). The tail takes a lot of horsepower to run it and in an auto, that translates into a lot higher rate of desent.. .. .Although there will be some on here that like them, you can see I do not.
