GS - you make some very good points, a lot of the early accidents in R22's were due to a lack of experience with the helicopter type and some of its idiosyncratic behaviour. Robinson themselves have released hundreds of service notes around how to operate the R22 and R44 in light of the accidents they were seeing, two of the most noted being push overs and low G loading the disc and RRPM decay and the incorrect procedure to correct it.
Couple this to how a person was trained and how that person is as a pilot and accidents do happen. If all the accidents with the G2 were attributed to a single factor, say the fenestron, and pilots lack of awareness with these types of fans then the manufacturer would have acted.
Still too early IMO to draw any meaningful conclusions, apparently there is a 4 seater and turbine model on the cards so will wait to try one of those...
