it's truly amazing that these notar helicopters are so relatively rare & underused, apparently unappreciated in the helicopter world the degree of controllability plus safety just absolutely blows away ALL typically configured helicopters the removal of the fragile, dangerous tail rotor linkage is perhaps the biggest technical jump since the aircraft was invented time will tell.. & that said I watched & recommend the coax 2-D videos-- those little coax birds are very cool cost effective & again, technically better & safer than typical aircraft then again if if I had the wherewithal, I'd probably enjoying owning & flying one or more of each type ;) Yup. . rotorhead, guilty as charged

The largest reason to this is that McDonnell Douglas still holds the patent for the system. It's a unproven system compared to a tail rotor and other manufacturers can't really use it or develop it without infringing on the patent.

mountjoy23 I have flown every MD369/500 and the 520 is my favorite! it's quiet, smooth, and way less taxing on the pilot! When the tail is setup correctly you can hover with out your feet on the pedals. It's so much quieter then a standard 500 that you will not believe it. We have the enhanced c20r so power is not a problem at all. She is a little heavier then a stripped out 500D but the power of the C20R makes up for it! And the 530FF drinks to much fuel and has a very heavy stick! Love the 520N!!!! ;)

I remember many years ago reading this book (Chickenhawk) about a guy who wanted to fly helicopters. He described what it was like learning how to fly, and especially in the training helicopters they used back then. He ended up flying during the vietnam war and talked about landing in DMZ's that were so tight his rotors hit branches (I assume small), and he said how loud it was. Amazing helicopter pilots and heroes all in one.
