SHY lets not go over the top here . You would not find a single Bell 47 that hasnt been put through overloading in its life ...anywhere !! I see your point but i think this is becoming a bit od a witch hunt . If he has been slightly over in the past i would sugggest that his machine is thoroughly investigated and he doesnt do it any more . I think you can tell by his posts that he realises it isnt big or cool to do it . All professional pilots know that flying a helicopter is a bit like being with a girl ...ie her past history may come back and bite you

so we all have to respect the machine we are handing over to the next guy .
