Interesting. It appears superior to the 97 in every way, did not take 2 years to get out of hover, and scrapped in early 70's.
That may be quite true, but iirc, it was scrapped after a fatal accident which involved the crew getting killed by the main rotor blades.
Solving the rotor stability problem proved more difficult than expected.
