Avery good mate is (arguably) the highest time R22 pilot in SA or Southern Africa .. well then maybe Africa.

He flies in the dead zone day in and out. Only in December months less than 100 hours and maybe January months.

The rest of the time he is between trees and schrubs at low level doing what he does best in a great machine.

Touch wood : He has not crashed and neither has any of his machines failed.

The Robbie as a trainer and game capture machine is a statement of technology comes in small well done packages

Sad about these accidents and I think purely co-incidence that they are all Robbie's. If their was another type of chopper for the job it would have been accidents in that type.

My worth.
