To be honest with a composite airframe (with internal systems running internally between the skins) it wont last running in Australian
conditions.Overheating was an issue with the ARH as well in the beginning due to the higher ambient temps we have here.Maybe we need to look to other
countries like South Africa who run in similar conditions.
When we got the Blackhawk the drama was we got the downgraded models which necessitated strengthening and reinforcing,something our Defence force
likes to do.Buy it cheap and stuff around with it till it works.Sea Sprites were a disaster but interesting the RNZ Navy are using them reasonably
well.
