Dear BudDevHeli & Bruno Guimbal,

Biggles99 says says you are the only two people on PPRuNe to have earned the right to comment on whether a helicopter design is good or bad.

Because I am only a whinger, could you kindly express your views as to whether the newly turbine powered R66 (marketed as a revolutionary step up from the R44) is in fact a revolutionary step up from the R44!

To most of us whingers it appears as nothing more than an R44 with a turbine engine and, in which case (in whinger-speak) might better have been marketed as the R44T (or similar).

Also, if you have the time, do you think - in your well considered right to comment - that the ancient FH1100 could be revamped to offer a better alternative than the R66?

Whingingly yours
