If you fly hot/high, N3 same engines, lower max gross, great single and twin engine power. N4 wouldn't lift the skin off a bowl of custard OEI when the temperature goes up
. Yes, fast, lots of nice electronic toys, proper FADEC, but I'd rather have the performance thanks - it's what's saved my bacon on numerous occasions in hot climates. N3 is my favourite twin of all the Eurocopter mediums. Must say, I'd quite like to try an EC225, NH90 and AW139, but don't suppose I'll get the chance now
