R66 & Jet Ranger
Guys,
It will be a little while yet before most of us get to fly the new Robinson R66, so I am curious to hear from the few pilots that have flown the new machine as to how its flight characteristics, stability, inertia, power margins and vibration levels compare to the Jet Ranger (it's stated competitor).
All thoughts gratefully received.

Out of interest does anyone know if RHC are working directly with EASA to get it certified, or are HeliAir / Sloanes / Dealers assisting or trying to get it done?

The R66 obviously has an engine that never fails because if there was the remotest possibility then the pilot would never have used that profile with those spectators so close now would he?

I've no axe to grind here...'no harm no foul' and all that but as one of the throng standing in very close proximity to those blades I was surprised, to say the least, that this was allowed to happen given all the H & S directives these days

Well if that machime was on my AOC and I took off like that I would be having an interview without coffee with my ops inspector and quite rightly so.
SB may have flown everything but he has a lot to still learn, obviously!
If the donk did fail or tr come to that and someone was killed SB would be at Her majesty's pleasure so we wouldn't be worrying about whats going on at Heliair
