I dunno, i sat in the back of a C++ Quiet gearbox and a coccoon and it was Incredibly quiet. Sat in the back of a 139 and those sliding doors just make it hard to insulate the noise . . . . . supposed to have a spin in the 155 . . . but they were waiting for a part from eurocopter . . . that was two months ago . . wouldnt be surprised if they were still waiting.

Cant wait to see the 76d..... DeIce, Quiet gearbox, Prat engines, (has the 139 been certified to fly in falling snow yet?)

Anyway helipolarbear calls it the BabyHawk and he says its cool and hes normaly right .......... so there!
