I have been flying the S76 A+ and ++ for about the last 6 years and I love the aircraft. Not had the chance to fly the glass cockpit variants so cannot comment. I agree with some of the issues like high nose up attitude, poor seating for the pilots particularly not being able to see the top row of lights on the CWP when seated in the best position for looking out the window! Just converting onto the EC155 at the moment which looks brill in terms of its autopilot architecture.
On a shallow level though, the S76 has to be the sexiest looking helicopter I have seen on the market. The French and our eastern block helicopter designers just don't get it!
