You cannot compare the 2 machines. the Jettie is a Queen of the Classic Skies......once mastered is a Gem of an ole Lady
The Squirrel is amazing, super easy to fly, powerful, maneuverable, forgiving & profoundly powerful....downside = EXPENSIVE to operate 
Love 'em both, but for eXtreme hot-high work AS350B3e all the way
Happy Landings

Hey VF, this is a scary... a near new B3 and the boy's are tabbing the blades??????, in my experience this is rear unless there has been a blade change or someone has damaged a blade..my thoughts only
JD,
Actually not that unusual. Any helicopter tracked as acceptable at Sea Level will
normally require a tweak at "high altitude".
High altitude of course is a relative term depending where you happen to be!
