The Sikorsky products are definitely more Pilot friendly than the Bell things.....excepting maybe those spongy brakes on the 58T after the tail wheel lock breaks! Why is it....the old girl always wanted to slew around the strong brake no matter which way the wind was blowing? How many times did you hear a "snap", feel the tail start swinging.....cram on the brakes and one of them....and always the one you needed....went to the fire wall while the other one stayed hard?
