Thumbs up Progress schmogress.

Robinson can accomplish all of the above by designing a three blade rotor system for the R-22. You would have a highly reliable aircraft and at the same time eliminate the SFAR, do away with the safety course, eliminate hours requirements for a PPH to take passengers, eliminate the restrictions for sideslip, flying out of trim and flying in zero G. True you might get ground resonance but good maintenance will do away with that as well.
