FAA approves stick guard

The safety-enhancing stick guard is FAA approved for all Robinson R44 and R66 helicopters.
The guard is recommended for use when the left front seat occupant is not the pilot.
The guard is easy to install and acts as a handle or barrier, reducing the likelihood of passengers accidentally hitting or catching the stick.

The mounting kit (KI-280) is available now on the Robinson website for $1,200.
