DM. I have a few hours with the T800 on Super Lynx (as well as a few thousand on various marks of current Lynx) and NR control is still as fruity at the lower power settings as it is with the Mk3, Mk7, Mk8 and Mk 9. Remember, the Super Lynx MAUM is 5330Kg so is only a little bit more than current Lynx but still quite a bit shy of the in-service MAUM of Sidrat. Unless you know different and have defied physics, using the same main rotor assembly and flying controls (and AFCS) and increasing the weight of the aircraft will not improve the NR control. You have all but admitted that it is a design flaw (of sticking highly aerodynamic blades on an already highly loaded disc).

I can tell you work for AWs marketing department.
