     Neigh. If that was the case it would take a 100 years and untold number
     of lives. During the last six and a half years we have lost two lives
     in rotary powered airplane crashes by people that were not on here!
     That is not good PR for rotary powered airplanes. We have a lot
     of intelligent engineers (myself not included) on here who have not flown
     their own airplane yet. I want to read their criticism.

     Furthermore if somebody votes yes I will ignore the post.

     Do I make myself completely clear?

     Paul Lamar
     Perfectly.  I have no problem with accepting advice, criticism, ideas, etc from others (flying or not) but it should be based on objective data.  So far, all I've heard on this subject
     is just hearsay & innuendo.
