T'aint
Dont get me wrong. I like Robinsons and have considerable time in both 22s and 44s. I'm sure that fuel injection will make the 44 a brilliant machine. The R22 needs it too- and a bit less de-rating.
The reason I have an Enstrom is because the bills are way, way lower than a 44, 3 seats are what I need so a 22 would be useless and I like the way the Enstrom flies. It also looks like a real helicopter without its arse hanging out. ( My dad calls R22s Heath Robinsons!).I also like fully articulated heavy rotors.
The extra 30 BHP may be there, but to get it is outside the POH limitations. On the odd occasion I have seen the manifold pressure in the red, the rotor horn comes on. So to get usable extra power the revs would have to be increased above 102% first. See if you pass a GFT doing that.
With the Enstrom, I usually see 21-23 inches in the cruise- not dissimilar to Robinsons. 30 inches is there if I need it. 7-9 inches is better to have in reserve than 2 or 3 (!!) I know which I prefer.
