I totally understand. I must say, the machines coming out of Philly don't seem to be finished as well as the ones from Vergiate.
Be a problem customer, specially if you have multiple aircraft coming! I saw one company that made them pull the tailbooms off their machines before delivery! Agusta weren't happy about that, but at the end of the day, they want your money!
Your snag count is about what I find, although a lot of them are paperwork issues. Usually the wrong logcards in the logbook and things like that.
Last acceptance I did at Philly I made them replace the windscreens because we weren't happy with their condition. They didn't want to do it, but delivery was refused until it was done, so they did it.
Acceptances are always a bit of a battle.
Agusta seems to be a victim of their own popularity! If they weren't selling so many machines, they'd have more time to finish them properly! Not sure that they would though
