• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Russian R44 crash

Low rotor rpm horn blaring away, not fast enough dumping the collective. One of the insidious traits of the Robinsons is that the rotor system doesn't have a whole bunch of inertia, not much energy, and the rpm decays rapidly, leaving nothing at the bottom to flare out. Rule one: Thou'st shall maintain rotor RPM, for this is thyne staff of life; lest the ground rise up and smite thee. 550fpm and it wil not wind up. The mitigating factor is, any landing you can walk away from is a win.
