Surprise, surprise, what you cant fly side ways for a photo shoot anymore in a Robbie? The Robinson helicopter is the dodgiest bucket of puss or should I say death trap machine ever built. Its the helicopter that has killed more pilots than any other machine on the planet, some blades delaminate even in the box prior to installation, sad & very scary. Many young (time wise) pilots blindly worship them as if they were the best thing since a trusty ole' Jetbox, sadly though the wrecks of machines & wrecked families lives paint a different story. Ask on honest L.A.M.E. who has worked on a variety of machines for a few years for their appraisal of a Robinson. If we all got together boycotted flying these rickety hazardous contraptions, maybe, just maybe Mr Robinson may build something descant.
