The AS350 is a fine machine, but why engineer it with such fine tolerances that a simple delay in getting on the ground with a hydraulic problem can cause a fatality?
Make the hyd pump a lot more powerful, have a way of isolating the hyd pressure inside the system like the Bell machines do, and you will do away with the Hydraulic Transparency issues that are a total PITA in the 350.
I have had a scare in a 350 simply from enthusiastic cyclic inputs, which I never encountered in 10,000 Bell hours. And yes, we did have a lot of scrapes in B models during training, but mostly due to the insistence in taking almost every auto to the ground, whereas 99% of the benefits of doing an auto can be achieved in a power termination. But that's another thread.
