Robinson acquired by Lynn Tilton?
Is there any more info about Lynn Tilton acquiring Robinson Helicopters?
Sure. I hear the first new model is going to be the MD-22, featuring a teetering rotor system, and a star-shaped T-bar cyclic with 5 grips.

Actually, and acquisition of MD by Robinson (instead of the reverse) might make business sense. Would give Robinson an entry into the market for real helicopters.

Do you not regard a Robinson as a real Helicopter?

Let me just say that I am not a Robbie fan despite being qualified in the R22 & R44. These are minimalist designs which optimise for low initial cost/price and as such incorporate many tradeoffs in the interest of "cheap" that I find most unattractive.
Ahh .. a man after my own heart!

I though that was the late Dr Christiaan Bernard
