Nick,

Great idea, I hope that you are able to use some of the input

things that are needed:

Fly by wire for light/medium civilian helicopters, leading to....
Carefree handling as with RPT big jets
Power limits that don't inhibit the aircraft's potential, both engine and gearbox
Proper seats and control positioning to allow the crew to survive a full day's operation: day after day after day.

fixes to existing shortfalls:

Nail DoC's to a 10% variation, and simplify the Parts List
Keep on providing the level of support that Bell are famous for (don't let the beancounters cut it back)
Get rid of the 2 year life on the 206 TT Straps (please, please, please)


Loads more, but I'm off to dinner with Tudor
