I also congratulate donkey boy.

It seems amazing that everyone buckets the R22 for all the training accidents for instance, but completely misses the point that by and large it is the only training machine around at this point in time.

Just imagine if all the training was done in squirrells, hydraulic problems?? down time with engine problems while the component is returned to Frrrannnsss? etc. etc.

However the chinese fella has hit a chord, the problems with securing the paint to do the called up mod and the time taken for the paint to dry just don't add up to commercial sense.

C'mon you Robinson factory guys give us a break mate, we need a quick dry, readily available hard paint to use that can be easily bought in other countries.

It's not too hard is it, just a tim of paint and a US quarter and Bob's your uncle, we'll be happy?
