Another weird incident happening to an Agusta . . . .

In September when I attended factory training for the Agusta I was really excited about the helicopter, and the training.

As time has progressed I have come to be a little disapointed of the helicopter it has a lot of quirks that the Agusta calls "normal", I hate that.

I am very meticulous about the aircraft I fly, I don't like parameters that act funny, weird vibrations, and I hate the fact that for many questions even Agusta doesn't know the answers to many things about the aircraft.

Also the factory training was what I would call below standard for such a helicopter.

But hey, its a huge seller around here, so I might as well get used to it!!

Here is a pic taken at the hangar on Sunday, all A109 POWER's with 4 of them being only a few months old! And a few more on the way.
