Once again, Nick is right on the money.
Nearly every light helicopter could stand a stabilization system, and the first person to crack the cost problem for this would be real hero - if the pilots can be taught to accept it.
Far easier to design the stabilization system than to re-design the whole helicopter.
R&D, yes please, but something that has some possibility of working.
