:I'm not sure there was a concensus established one way or another for the merge. I understand that the Z-9 has had modifications, but they mostly consist of "strap-on" modifications built onto the airframe and not true modifications to make it a totally different airframe. Essentially, they remain license-built Dauphins with locally produced modifications. If I install a different avionics suite than the manufacturer offers, I don't change the nature of the aircraft, even though I may have to do rewiring or bolting on other pieces of equipment to make it work. Z-9=Chinese-built Dauphin, nothing more.
