Very intelgent & typical comment from a blinded Robi worshiper.
An unfair response to TET, particularly if one notes the closing remarks.

Back on topic: Robinson fills a particular niche in the rotary wing industry. Sometimes events have non linear outcomes, and ripples turn into tsunamis. Confidence in one's rotor blades is a must.
One way this turns out is the beginning of the end for Robinson.
Another way is that it is addressed well and confidence is restored.
We shall see.
