Never having flown the S61/SeaKing, I am always intrigued by the television cockpit pics showing the co-pilot with his hands on the speed selects during take-off & landing/hovering situations. Anybody enlighten me what this is about?

Do Carson/anyone else have any plans to put a modern, more powerful engine with FADEC into the S61? My understanding is that they have always been underpowered especially when OEI. This together with the Carson glass cockpit would surely make a truly superb modern machine.
