fluffy,
Well noted.
Back when I first flew the R22 in 1981 after coming from the H300, similar things were said.
Those were the days before "tip weighted" blades. Auto's were an eye-watering experience.
Went back to the H300.
The Cabri is not that "new" as it first flew in 1992 and a Type Cert was issued in 2007.
Franks philosophy was "low acquisition and operating costs".
And Bruno obviously has a different idea and has addressed a few of the shortcomings of the R22.
