So, on one side of the argument, we have AnFI who refuses to tell us what his experience is. I wonder why? Added to that we have a new entrant mdovey who is currently training on a Cabri G2 for a PPL, and chop jock who tells us that the biggest threat to a helicopter is the pilot. Not a problem for him as when he's not exercising his PPL the helicopters he flies don't have a pilot on board! They are flown by radio control.

On the other side we have many enormously experienced professional pilots who have seen and done pretty much everything it is possible to imagine in a helicopter (plus a few things you probably can't imagine unless you've been there!)

Now who's opinion do I prefer???

Mmmmmm. Can I have a millisecond to think about that please!

BTW: We do of course have helicopters with THREE engines as well! Spawn of the devil I say!! Burn 'em!!!
