"Is there any possibility of trailing this aircraft in the australian conditions for mustering as from what you have demonstrated to me this aircraft could be the next generation mustering helicopter."– K. F., Oz
"I can never see my self flying R22 again after flying some good hours on this machine, Out standing quality and strength. Pleasure to fly this smooth and quiet two seat helicopter"– Aaron Fredrick Bate, SA
"I rate the engineering design and build quality as outstanding. There is copious use of carbon for all blades and cabin and also plenty of Titanium for weight savings.– Albert Questiaux, SA
It would be an injustice to compare this helicopter to existing crop of kit-helicopters. I would rate this craft between a R22 Beta II and the Schweitzer 269C in terms of its weight lifting capacity, performance and cabin size.
"I am proud of the work you are doing for the helicopter industry. You are a true pioneer!"– J.H., Knoxville, Tennessee
