I had missed it along the way, but Airwolf straps are now certified for 3 years or 1,200 hours.

Quelle surprise that Bell are alleged to have a 'new' product in the marketplace too that miraculously also has a 36 month life
Textron : Newsroom - Bell Helicopter Announces New 206 Series TT Strap with Calendar Life Extension
Funny how competition suddenly causes Bell to inject vigour into realigning the 2 year life after 20 years of bleeding owners dry. Albeit, the special warranty credit has gone too.
I'll continue to give my money to Airwolf.
