Hello VinceWS and welcome,
First message and already insulting, that's your choice.
You feel safer in an R22 because a lot have been produced, that's your choice.
But about the facts : first delivery in 2009 and by the end of the year, there will be 50 aircraft flying. Can we say that 50 build in 3 years is amateur ? well, you know what? that's quite the same figures than Bell and their 429 !
Do we have to be insulting and think that Bell are amateurs ?
I don't think so, but that's only my choice ...
