Fair enough, just putting the question out there for discussion really - the super quick decay of rpm at high pitch settings is a big enough problem already, it's true.

I'm a relative newcomer to the type, only 500 hrs or so. Started out on a Beta which because it was lighter allowed us to carry more fuel, then when we got the Beta IIs suddenly we were that much more restricted in endurance unless the people up front were light.

If the Robbie could do more with safety, don't you think the manufacturer would try for it?
I do, but it was the Bell increase that prompted the question in my mind.
