I do not like flying on helicopters.

Even if I had the money, no thank you.

1.) unstable
2.) receding blade stall
3.) vibration
4.) airframe under constant torque from tail
5.) everything spinning in circles and power needs diverted 90 degrees to rotar system.
6.) no glide ratio to speak of and often operating low (altitude = time and options).

I see the need for a helicopter. The capabilities are simply needed.

But, no doubt you are sacrificing safety for that capability.

THE DEFINITION OF A HELICOPTER: (AS BEST I CAN RECALL):

“A MILLION PIECES BEING HELD TOGETHER WITH “A JESUS NUT” ALL TRYING TO ESCAPE TO SOMEWHERE ELSE”
