It seems few have a solid grasp of statistics. Robinson has now produced over 10,000 helicopters and the vast majority of private helicopter pilots fly Robinsons, in part due to availability. I’ve flown and have never liked Sikorsky/Schweitzer 300’s. As for Enstrom’s, I once saw one at an aviation expo, but have never actually seen one at an airfield – in near a decade of privately flying helicopters! I know Enstroms exist, I’ve seen photos and Mr Kenyon often speaks of them on here, but there doesn’t seem to be enough about to render any meaningful statistics.

I’ll bet if we check DVLA statistics, more Ford Focus are wrecked than Rolls Royce Phantoms. Does that infer a Ford Focus is a “death box” and we expect everyone to be driving Phantoms?
