Having flown them at Papillon, I have no complaints. It is a bit touchy on Tq and Temp on cold days believe it or not. Another small item getting used to was on the start your almost at the gate by the time you get to flight idle. Gate was designed for a different engine. Not a big deal just takes a couple starts to get used too.
B2 to me is sweeter than a B3 and wonder what the new B2s will look like.
Consider also that Papillon uses theirs for tours with a love seat. So usually its 6 + Pilot and in the Grand Canyon on a hot day can be looking at 45+ C.
I have not had a hook on the super D.
