“BLR is pleased with the continued widespread demand for the FastFin system, and we congratulate EuroTec on purchasing the milestone 100th FastFin kit for their H125/AS350 aircraft,” said Mike Carpenter, President of BLR Aerospace. “The FastFin system is a ‘must have’ for H125/AS350 operators who want to maximize their useful load, increase their safety margins, and get a better return on investment—even in harsh environments.”
“EuroTec is thrilled to be installing another Fastfin kit on its B3e and we are honored to be the 100th H125/AS350 Kit Customer for BLR,” said Chad Decker, founder, and President of EuroTec. “We consider the Fastfin kit to be essential to our client’s and their mission to operate one of safest helicopters in the industry. Our pilots appreciate the increase in right pedal authority, more useful load as well as flying with a system that feels so much safer and easier. Pilots prefer flying the H125/AS350 with the Fastfin system, especially on hot days and at higher altitudes, it is an absolute necessity for our aircraft.”
