    sarswimmer95 All right all you 206b/c drivers!  What do you think...is it harder to fly the 206 than the Schweizer 300Cbi?  I start flying the 206b and C models on June 9th!  Thanks!

      hkutcher I too would like to know if 3 blades are better than 2. :-)

      fly911 I would have to say the 300 is more stable in a hover. But the 206 is such fun to fly that you will enjoy the transition. In forward flight, the 206 has more of an enclosed feeling compared to the 300, and about as stable as the 300.

      scottswanberg I would have to say the 300 is easier to fly in general. The fully articulated head and three bladed system offer more stability in all phases of flight.

The fully articulated head and three bladed system offer more stability in all phases of flight. It is also very soldid and responsive due to direct linkage. The 206 has an ever so slight lag (due to hydraulics?), yet is very sensitive. Also, power management is a little different in the 206 as it is a turbine (I know you know this, but it opens a whole new set of complications like power lag if you raise or lower the collective too quickly). I only have an hour or so in a jetranger but those are the things I noticed.  less

      fly911 Hanna, generally speaking the more blades, the smoother the ride and smaller rotor disk diameter. Seems to me that the 500 is more manuverable and responsive than the 206, but as Don pointed the 206 is easier to hangar.

Almost the same airframe but twice the blades.

    in the topic Hello all. in the forum Introduce Yourself

    Hello all,

    My name is Chris and I am so glad I found this website...finally a site for pilots! Anyway I am a semi-low time pilot, both fixed and rotary wing (obviously more into helos than planes.) I am currently in flight school for the Coast Guard learning how to fly again, and it is such a slow process...approxmately 2 years. Anyway, trying to find helicopters to rent and fly (Schweizer 300's) to stay current. There arent very many on the Florida panhandle. Enough about me! Hope to talk to you soon!
