on the 212 where the left engine throttle is on the bottom and the right is on the top (if I remember correctly).
Hmm.. I seem to remember it the other way around hehe, go figure. Like you said its easy to mix up.

I keep hearing the 222 is limited on power! That is not my experience but I have only operated the "U" model and in cold climates where it always had plenty of power.

Also if I remember correctly then the gearbox was limited to 925hp torque but each engine is 735 hp (on U model) so in OEI you only loose about 26% of available torque! Which must be pretty good?
