RT 216 - new German light single turbine

Very nice, great to see a new model flying around. Sounds great too.

I wonder if there's any scope for a 4-seat version with a higher speed.

Engine starter on the roof will make all the restarts so nice... taking away a fighting chance.

Agree, completely silly, but at least certifiable in contrast to the REALLY silly PFD of HILL helicopter 😂

That would be nice, it would then look like a Gazelle instead of a foreshortened one.
