Weedflier, I hope that was just a typo, when you requested CYCLIC mounted throttles!
Ventilation is an absolute necessity operating in Oz. The worst helo in this respect has to be the EC120 - all that glass, and the piddling fan only blows in your eyes to make them sore. Open the piddling side window, and this aerodynamically slick machine makes all the air go past without coming in. Try flying from Canberra to Sydney in 38 degrees plus, a full load of pax, sunlight beating through the glass, cyclic in left hand, right hand out the window trying to scoop some air in. T'aint pleasant. And your legs (in navy blue corporate-style trou) and feet (in black Doc Martens) are just roasting.
