AS350 and EC130
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.

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.
