dissing the 66
Blimy Guys,
have you ever considered how easy it is to bitch about a helicopter (in this case the R66) as opposed to designing, building, certifying, selling, supporting one?
Give credit where credit is due -- Robinson is one of the few helicopters that was born out of private finance, as opposed to billions of dollars of tax payers money through military contracts.
We are all entitled to our subjective opinions on the merits of any particular design, but the only guys that I know on this forum that has earnt the right to comment on the good/bad design is BudDevHeli, and possibly Bruno Guimbal - the guy who has designed and built and certified the Cabri.
They are the do-ers, we are the whingers.
Big Ls.
