I think you will find that owners are more concerned with performance , operating costs , reliability etc than cosmetics !! Having said that i still think they look a bit short for toe in landings ...not that that is a big problem for me ,
landing the 109 on anything rough and slopey is always mighty tricky !!
Pilots who were at heli expo are telling me they believe its the dogs bollocks and they are people who have been operating for decades . So i am quietly confident that all the hugely negative stuff on here will be proved wrong and there will be a mass apology from all those self proclaimed experts on aircraft development !!
