A couple of local Grand New's were parked at Moorabbin yesterday: I had a little check out of the FMS and auto hover, very impressive: but also very much a feature that needs intimate knowledge to operate

Was going to ask, what company is ribbed up enough to buy two the same colour? Now after a bit of a clue in one of the pics, I am still wondering if both belong in the same truck shed?

Hazy day

How does the 117 go up there? Would not a 350B3+ do better?

[JB-319]

It does very well, but requires to be very cautious because of its extreme sensitiveness to the slightest wind direction change. A few knots may increase/decrease performance instantly.

B3s are the thing ! But cabin room is too small for our operations.
