Laughed out loud at the Chinny cruise speed setting method. Of course the Hughes 300 is vastly superior to any of this mil tin-pannery - it cruises at a speed only fractionally lower than that at which it falls gracelessly out of the sky. Also is less accepting of rear-quartering breezes in the hover than Heather Mills of a divorce settlement. The thing will routinely throw the unwary into a right pirhouette with only a 3-5kt gust on take-off.
