Default UFO HeliThruster and IFR?

I have heard that two-bladed, teetering rotor systems have a
reputation for something called "mast bumping" in low-g flight.
What is mast bumping, and why is the CarterCopter not susceptible
to this problem?


It really isn't "mast bumping." It is "mast bump." It only happens once,
destroys the helicopter and you with it.
