I am

I am... irrational (I am, therefore I think... as "what's his name" said*) I know but it's funny, I never could stand the sight of a Robinson 22 or 44 or 66... these aircrafts do not LOOK right... there is (in my opinion anyway) an imbalance in the proportions or rather something I cannot really define. As Marcel Dassault once said : "if it looks beautiful, it will perform beautifully..." probably speaking about his Mirage. A question of harmony that is kind of inbuilt in our brain? I know it's hard to explain as a helicopter is far from anything "naturally" imaginable and it works nevertheless. Some of them are realy nice to look at, some a bit less but their proportions are mostly harmonious... not the Robbys. I'd rather be an irrational doubting alive than a convinced rational dead...

*Good all Rene Descartes of course and the other way round....
Safe flying, Al
