Mr Waterstreet - Sun Herald Page 12 Extra
The article is a disgrace, and written by someone who has not done their homework and is clearly illiterate.
This section of the article is particularly ridiculous and written in language that Mr Waterstreet must have invented himself !
However, they need heavyweight pilots, because when flown at low forward speed, especially at heights lower than 500 feet, they are susceptible to OGE - out of ground effect, which means in close proximity to the terrain at a low air speed or at hover, they fall out of the sky.
The comments regarding “helicopter was burnt” in his eyes seem to only occur to “Robinson 22 and 44” helicopters. Did he miss the recent Twin Squirrel crash or the B3 at YSBK, both were burned to the ground, regardless of being made by other manufacturers. 
The industry does not need this sort of uneducated publicity, written in a style that suggests he knows what he is talking about.
Shame on you “Sun Herald” and shame and disgrace on you Mr Waterstreet.
It is hard to believe that any reputable newspaper would publish such rubbish.
