Bell 214B - awsome machine - basically a stretched 212 airframe with a chinook engine and a couple of chinook blades !!!

Touchdown, lift to the hover, spot turn and land - no problem!!

Bell47's are fantastic!! Very easy to Autorotate, in both vertical decent, and extending the glide, no drama's at all..

Agree on the Bell 47. 40 kts, no idea on the ROD (no VSI!), very forgiving and quite a leisurely trip down. As opposed to the Lynx! Autos like a supertanker and has the range of a house brick!

Does that mean that, for the most of you, the "old heavy" two bladed tetering rotors are better in autorotation ?
Thanks
