[QUOTE="Rob Lancaster, post: 174644, member: 6154"] Hi Tony!! Yeah she's a cool ship alright, but the two bladed tail rotor does have it's advantages as well.

And of course the mechanical control in the tail assembly is doubled so it's more complicated for nothing.. Let it sing!!!! Now that the Covid restrictions are easing, the 500s are flying again.
