In all my years as an avid helicopter enthusiast I could never understand the draw and attraction to any of the Robinson's. I understand the R22 nearly created and certainly has conquered the market but come on, they're all simply hideous to look at. The regulations pertaining to noise and safety will eventually catch up to the Robinson's IMHO and I certainly hope Guimbal takes a huge and everlasting bite out of their market share.
I know the R66 is cheap but you get what you pay for. I've recently seen the entire product line and they appear to me at least to be built like cramped and flimsy plastic toys. It's the choice ultimately between owning a Yugo or a BMW and sometimes having money doesn't necessarily mean you have brains. AH could address the shortcomings of the Colibri then aggressively market the ship, I think if a customer flew the two the Colibri would seal the deal.
