Believe me, I'm the least spoiled brat ever - I grew up in a poor houeshold with a single mom and all I've made in this world I've made on my own.
And I have done research. The fact is that in the case of an engine failure in a R22, you have about a second, second and a half before you're beyond recoverable rotor RPM. That's less time than on any other flying helicopter today.
As for engine failure, well, that's what I was asking in my other post - maybe the newer piston helicopters have become better in this regard? But the overhaul time of a piston engine is still around 2000hrs, whereas a turbine is much higher - surely this must have some relation to reliability?
Anyway, this was not the question in my initial post and we're getting off-topic.
