OK Bob you got me on one. Whats with never grabbing the tail rotor shaft to
slow down the main rotor on shut down? I don't have a rotor brake and have
used the hands on (no gloves) approach to speed up the slow down on the MR.

Me too. That's how I stop the mains when I fly the C300... Learned
from my CFII when i asked "Does this thing have a rotor brake?" He
said, "Follow me." then hopped out and grabbed the shaft.. "This is
it right here.."



So,,,,, throwing a wet towel at the TR hub, is not a good idea then? g
