Mr Frog has a strange way of making his point, a bit jumpy, perhaps.

Calculating CG is required of every pilot of every aircraft prior to flight, and indescriminate loading is not possible in many helicopters. A simple plot on your kneeboard can serve as a way to do CG, it is not hard, unless you think it is, in which case, stay away from transport helicopters, and pull legs off frogs for a living.


What crap we can stop is believing that there is a stunning deficiency in the most popular, fastest, longest range and best equipped helicopter in its class. The Sikorsky soixante-seize is a mighty fine helicopter, the best in its class, as judged by all those who bought it, fly it and buy more when they get the money. Many more than those who bought the 365, many many more. Plus more. Tres more. Beaucoup more.
