What a strange thread

Read the tech paper why should the Author summarize it for you, then you might understand (there are pictures to).
Regarding auto manufacturers, yes millions of cars vans lorry's etc, but the cost is per unit.
They have to coordinate recalls, loan customers cars, pay dealers to do repair + there is wide condemnation, Also there are a host of other makers looking to capitalize on their misfortune.
We as owners & pilots are being taken for mugs, with poor spares delivery, abysmal customer support & prices escalating at a rate that is beyond reason after starting at astronomic levels.
Warranty don't even go there! gearbox rebuilt 3 times would not release until paid every time, they have you over a barrel. blades erosion strips dis-bonding in 70 hours, send them back says manufacturer, not we will have them collected & shipped USA.
As a pilot & owner with an engineering\electronics background the reliability is poor to say the least.
Most of the manufacturers seem to think the customer is a nuisance so we will ignore them.
It is a shame that Cabri did not have the B***s to pay labour warranty, especially as I was told by them how little there was going to be, if true? at least 3 machine sales lost
