Namaste Aarj, Yes You are right I don't like the robinson flimsicopters. I have been around them for 23years & yes though crisp & reponsive to fly they have killed 2 good mates, nearly killed 2 others & from engineering professional contacts I have had a good insight into the flimsy workmanship & minimal metal built into them. They rust, they throw blades, ah f.... its not worth explaining as many Robi lovers are blind to their almighty R? we are all entitled to an opinion (in the free world) I like Holdens & not Fords, so what? but mention that about R??? WoW look out the war path has again commenced.

I have had enough time in & around R's to make a fair judgement. In my experience I know that they are NOT as safe as claimed & I feel this is constructive. The new R66 has already had 3, yes 3 catastrophic airframe failures with fatalities on all. Very sad to loose fellow Pilot's & friends.

Happy landings
