Why stop there?

1. Uncomfortable nose high hover attitude.
2. Limited forward/down cockpit visibility (which makes most new pilots fly approaches out of trim).
3. A stabilator that for years, scared the bejesus out of many pilots.
4. A rotor system that refuses to smooth (I swear somebody walked out of the plant with the master blade).
5. Transient rotor droop like a mother (A model).
6. It leaks like a sieve and the heater works intermittently at best.

But you can’t have mine.
