HeloDrvr,
If my response reads a little passive aggressive (and I’m not exactly sure what that means), yours reads a little hostile. Regrettably the reason for your post was not clear to me, and I was simply passing-on what information I had regarding where the requested information exists. Since you are doing a performance comparison in support of an aircraft acquisition, I would think that any helicopter manufacturer would be happy to provide the information you require.
Also, I note that the basic RFM is available on the internet at the following website:

The basic RFM includes the OEI climb gradient mentioned by 212man.
