Actually like to operate the fenestron in the bush environment. It's a lot safer than an exposed T/R I feel. No problem that I can see with regards dust etc., that wont do the same to a T/R.
The 130 is a bit of a fat old girl though, compared to a 350, and viz going into confined area is is a bit less. It quite quickly starts to fill up the chosen landing site I find.
