This is the message that got this thread started:
"If anyone is interested in why the Robinson R22 and R44 should never have been certificated by the FAA please contact me. Please provide your email address and your interest in the subject and I shall send you a copy of a report submitted by me to the NTSB."
Then there is this one:
Nowhere in my postings have I said that the Robinson helicopters are unreliable. There have been several fatal accidents caused by the failure of control elements but these have been fixed which restores the demonstrated reliability that you indicated.
Lu, I know before I ask this that you will massage one or both of your statements in the answer but, are these statements of yours in contradiction?
