Derek
Jones, pilot/reporter, Pilot Magazine,
March 1999:
- "...
the view in all directions, except
obviously directly downwards, is quite
brilliant"
- "Raising
the collective showed that throttle
correlation was quit good once 16"
MAP was reached,..."
- "An
unusual feature of moving to forward
flight in light wind, was the complete
absence of the normal transition buffet.
Likewise, there was none of the sudden
pitch-up and roll [...].
- "The
rotor inertia on the Brantly [...] gives
a bigger margin for error during engine-off
landings."
- "Normal
approaches can be flown at any sensible
angle due to the excellent visibility
forwards and downwards, and confined area
landings are a breeze."
- "In
terms of handling the Brantly [is]
undemanding [...]"
Guy
Mayer, pilot/reporter, Rotor &
Wing Magazine, December 1991:
- "...
I became reacquainted with what
helicopter flying is really all about for
me: the freedom of flying a nimble small
helicopter over grassroots America with
not a care in the world except for fuel
remaining."
- "B-2B
cruise performance
surpassed the flight manual every time"
- "Built
for punishment"
- "The
B-2B has excellent left-pedal authority."
