Just finished a Factory Transition Course = (Theory=20 and Flight) for the

Eurocopter AS350B3 = helicopter.

That thing has a LOT of = fuses in the=20 panels. Asking the instructor why fuses

and not CB's, he said: "Fuses are=20 cheaper!"

And that in a helicopter that cost around = $2.2M=20 ........

 

But; = of course,=20 the instructor didn=92t design or build the helicopter, so there is = no reason=20 to believe he has any idea of =93why=94.
