oh dear, old man rotor strikes again!
i dont mean to moan about any other rotary pilots but the quote 'an auto in any R heli'.......isnt safe , what utter tosh!
from previous posts i assume you are an ' old bold pilot' on large twins, well news for you, not everyone wants or can afford to fly twins- twice the trouble and as the pilot of G-SAEW found out having 2 donkeys on top doesnt stop you having an accident(no disrespect to the guy, i think he did an exellent job in the circumstances, just using it as an illustration)
also as most are filled with fuel from the same filler neck, get bad fuel and both engines stop-how many eols have you performed recently in your flashy twin?
yes the r22 can be difficult to get it right but any problems are mostly down to pilot inexperience or lack of currency than a bad design, and as for the r44 it autos almost exactly like a 206-regarded by most as the safest single engine helo
if people in the industry can be so blinkered how are we to beat the likes of the mirror in thier latest campaign?
