Whirly,
I would argue the statement that the R22 was the most difficult to fly. If it were, they wouldn't let students lose on them, would they?
Try AUX OFF in an S61. Or AFCS OFF in an S76. Or......the list goes on.
I know from guys like TC, that the Lynx can be a fiery bitch as well!!!
Cheers,
OffshoreIgor
