Your point about "putting the most difficult helo to fly in the hands of the least experienced" is a fair one.
However, proper instruction on the specific dangers of lack of inertia/mast-bumping should make the Robinson pilot aware of the potential dangers, and how to avoid them etc.
If my posts suddenly stop - I was wrong!!!
Agree with you about the Gazelle - amazing machine. No contest.
(Don't tell anybody, but I prefer heli's to my "beloved warbirds" these days!!)
