Maybe the 22 is twitchy and difficult to fly and unforgiving but learning on a machine like that makes you a better pilot because when you get to fly larger machines the knack comes a lot easier because your used to flying the 22. Who's with me? Also, from a
PR point of view when you lead a student out to a 300 they look at you and they are like "this thing flies?" I mean look at the thing, it looks like someone just decided to build it in a scrap yard after a night on the town because it seemed like a good idea. While no doubt it flies lovely, they could make it look a bit sleeker and stop the airframe from cracking in mid-air, that is a feature that no helicopter should have in my opinion.
