'We had only been flying for about three minutes when I noticed the warning light was flashing. Either there was a problem with an engine or the propeller blades, but we started going into auto-rotation and made a crash landing.
Are we sure this bloke is a qualified helicopter pilot???

Perhaps we 'robbo-bashers' have been wrong along, the aircraft is fine - it's just the f*ckwits flying them that are the problem

It rather looks like he managed to introduce the blades to the tail-boom at some point during his attempt at an EOL.

I don't actually care one way or another if 'ex-military' guys slate the Robbos. It would just 'appear' that the people who slate them are ex mil who have never had to train and hour build in one.
maybe it's just because we have had the luxury of flying a real helicopter and can tell the difference.
