If an over weight pilot exceeds the recommended seat weight of his
helicopter, will this affect undersling enough to cause an increase in
the 2/rev vibration??? Does increasing G forces cause an increase in
2/rev??

On the first question, if you're talking about flying the bird outside the
recommended CG range, I'd think it's a possibility, especially the farther
out you go. Taken to extremes, wouldn't flying an under slung system far
enough out of the CG range risk mast bumping during certain maneuvers?

Don't know about the second question. Is the 2/rev vibration really
increasing or are the pilot and passengers just feeling it more because of
the G loading? Either way, I'd think it would "encourage" those involved to
try to improve the situation!
