Would that be a question you ask as you don't want the competition. Get off my land? Can we be bothered to dig up the stats on R44 engine failures (zero) and those of the twins you may be flying in from south of the River? No doubt somebody can save us the bother and send us the links to numerous other "Robby" bashing threads that have dragged on and on, all with the same conclusion. The "big" boys like to play in their big, expensive, sometimes unreliable machines, whilst the rest of us happily "risk our lives and the lives of thousands of others" by stepping into a single engined machine.

As has been said, as long as I can get to the helipad without having a car crash, or being shot (nothing in my house to find either), then I am happy that the odds are on my side for a safe return.

Course I may have the car crash on the way home....
