Hi guys,
A-IIs are showing up now where noise isn't an issue yet!
There are 2 of them in Panama at this time...
The main visible difference to a Lama is the 3-bladed TR versus 2-bladed on the A-II.
I am not sure about the Lama, but as it basically uses the Alouette III powertrain, I assume it has full hydraulics.
The A-II is all manual!!
I fly a A-III regularly. It is fairly loud, but the A-II must be the most efficient machine to convert fuel into noise - what a screecher!!
