cbs4 vs cbs 5
Hi there
We operate CBS 4 and 5 and there is little tangible difference from flying/handling point of view (in my opinion). The 5 will give you and extra 200kg 100kg (?) of virtual lift and take you up to 2600Kg but you still cannot exceed 2500kg MTOW (if that makes sense).
I am currently on leave the moment and will be back next week when I ask my technicians about the Mod numbers.
In sum the 5 will give you a better performance on paper, however, limitations are the same as the 4. as well as the blades you also need the main rotor gearbox mod and I think one other but without looking in the books I cannot tell you.
