I was speaking with someone at the weekend who says he wouldn't touch an Enstrom again and never sell one to anyone. He mentioned about teeth being lost on the ring gear during startup and cam wear problems if the engine is overboosted due to the engine never being designed for turbo charging. The problem is there is no way over knowing if someone has previously overboosted it. If you buy an Enstrom, be prepared for allot of trips to the engineers. He also mentioned about blade delamination.

Any comments?
