AS350 and EC130

[eurocopter2]

Can somebody tell me if the EC130 is more stable in a low ground effect hover than the AS350, seeing that the EC130 is much wider, changing the air flow around the fuselage.

From the little experience I have in the 130, it is deffinately a little more stable close to the ground.:}

The Fenestron isn't in the same way influenced as a conventionally tail rotor in the non-steadily airstreams in ground effect. Therefore the thrust is much more well-balancedly.

Thanks for the info guys.
