Yep, i heard the same. The 5-bladed rotor EC testet a few years ago is not in a serial condition.
And, it needs much more than a nearly original EC135-tail to bring the 145 to a new life.
The fan takes a lot of power. Not sure a the moment how EC will solve that problem. Stronger engines needs new gearboxes. Engines and improved gearboxes enhance the weight.
I hope not to see a new unlucky hybrid from EC with old engines and gearboxes but fan. That means bad flight performance.
