Now now Aser, play nice

I haven't heard of any issues either Spinwing, are you operating at 6800?

We've got the usual cracking above the fuel cell area, but you get that even if you always fly empty!
I'd also like to know if they have beefed up the structure on the AW149 as it is supposed to be rated to 8000kg! The latest picture I have of the grey one with orange stripes basically looks like a 139 with different engines (CT7) and a stretched fuselage (window in front of sliding door is now same size as the ones in the door). Agusta are keeping pretty quiet about it at the moment but did hint to me last year that they were aware of the need for more seating in the 139 and that a fuselage stretch was being looked at.
