Everyone who thinks R22's are awesome should do the following,

Get up in the cruise pulling around 20-21inches, now snap the throttle closed to simulate an engine failure, DON'T start lowering the collective UNTIL throttle is completely closed. Now as you lower the collective and the RRpm disappears into the sunset (hopefully you'll get in back) think to yourself...should a helicopter with a rotor system with inertia as low as this, even have been certified in the first place ?
