Revolution Mini 500 - is it buildable?
Richard Riley wrote: An aviation writer friend of mine went to a Robinson training session a few years ago. He said you had 1.3 seconds to dump the collective in the R22. He was thinking of writing an article and calling it "Small Helicopter Safety: Myth or Fable?" More recently, Frank Robinson has been reporting it as only 1.1 seconds. But having said that and having experienced several "throttle chops" in r-22 helicopters, I can attest that at least my reaction time falls at least a couple of tenths below that ! There's nothing like dumping that collective and feeling the aircraft pull away from your rear end (no matter how tight those cheeks try to hold on to that seat) ! Wayne |
