You must live on a different planet or work for a manufacturer. There IS NO difference when it comes to safety. Tell me when Robinson for instance last recalled their machines due to a perceived safety problem, certainly didn't over bladder tanks, let alone pay for it. It waves 2 fingers at owners when they build crap blades and then get owners to pay for their incompetence.
My son just had is Ford Fiesta recalled due to a problem with the fuel system, there was a small chance it could catch fire. Ford recalled everyone just in case, what has Robinson done about its fuel problem ( fuel bladders), told owners to pay $12500 to change their machines. Please please explain to me which company is doing the right thing and obviously running a robust/working SMS
. While you are at it please explain to me ( I am obviously thick ) why a manufacturer triples the price of a pitch link. Before you answer that, it is not cost of manufacture as a PMA company makes a pitch link for a 369 which is the same as a 269 ( you are no longer allowed to fit them) for $ 350 presumably they are making a profit, so why does Sikorsky put the price up from $ 375 to over $ 1200 ???.
