Don't want to cause any confusion - but I was told that the R44 limit was for entering autorotation. Apparently if you enter auto over 100 kts there's an aerodynamic certainty that the tailplane will kick you into a nosedown dive......same does not apply to R22. And, BTW, new Raven II announced with US price $35,000 more than Raven I. Uprated motor, 24v lx, higher HOGE, higher GW, higher max power takeoff - and a lighter wallet. Still no fuel injection and no sign of a diesel!
