Rotarwing, who’s it going?
The first time I flew a chopper was transiting back from an exercise at 100′ in a Wessex. flying along at 90 kts it felt like a slightly heavy Cessna, very relaxed and easy.
I then had to rise up to 1500′ to transit through the Shawbury gate, again gently up on the collective, dead easy.
As the landing square hove into view, my instructor said: “just come into the 10′ hover over that white sqaure and turn into wind”
so I gently dropped down from 1500′ and 90 kts, and stopped perfectly over the square at 10’….then all hell broke loose! Apparently it looked like I has having some kind of seizure/fit, the crewman reported it was a bit uncomfortable in the back…..
I now fly a little RC heli, which is fun, and at least you won’t have to master nose-in hovering! (Cyclic controls all reversed!)
