R66 for sure

Amusing responses. Two R66 crashes (a while ago and very early in the delivery cycle) and the forum writes off the R66. Well written up advice indicates "over controlling" (in short) as the cause. Google it chaps.

Sister ship to the biggest selling heli in production. R44. Sure, people crash those too. Same with 206 and EC120B (Even John's (R81) machine - ps...you always write something measured, if you are ever in Sydney, PM me and we will go flying !).

Ok, maybe I am biased because I have actually flown the R66. Easy to fly, safe, comfortable and good value. One of my mates just got one, it is a very nice machine. Smooth, heaps (!) of power and really nice to fly.

206 = designed in 1950s, R66 designed this century.

OK, let the debate rage !

(VF ?)

Enjoy flying whatever you are.

PS - I would have 66 tomorrow if not for the GFC.
