Just wanted to get back to the original topic, I personnaly don't think entering an auto would help the matter, since the NR would likely remain the same, or higher at some stages. The debonding of the Blades would cause vibrations, and if I experienced severe low-frequency vibrations I would land ASAP no matter what machine I was in.
ABout the Robbo and auto's, they glide a lot better than the "greased anvil" i currently fly, my only gripe is that you have to be a bit more on the ball should the donkey decide to go on strike
Well, those words were my opinion anyways...
