I don't think the thread in r.a.r. indicated everybody hates twins, just owners. I would certainly have preferred to fly a twin when I was flying light ships, but the fact is that at least in the US the vast majority of light helicopters are single-engine, & cost drives that. Cost to acquire, & cost to fly and maintain. The owner isn't flying in it, & most of the customers aren't either, they're just SLF, or as we refer to them, breathing cargo or 'critters'.
