So you're comparing a small helicopter with two fixed rotors and a
simple fixed gearbox with a full-up tiltwing aircraft?

In hovering fligh it has the same control configuration as a tilt
rotor in hovering flight.

Which does not make it the same as a tilt rotor.

Still, comparing a simple little helo to a tiltrotor.

That's funny.

Not at all. The controlability issues of hovering flight had been
solved.

What remains is lighter transmissions and powerplants and the problem
of transition from hovering to horizontal flight.

You seem to be making light of that "transition from hovering to
horizontal flight", it's a bear.
