Well after a year on the ground, which started out to be just a condition
inspection, a 1800 sq ft building expansion got in the way, my bird took flight yesterday. After extensive re-rigging and checking to insure sufficient negative pitch to allow autoroatation, I carefully lifted the bird and WHOEE.!!! I hadn't flown in a year so was expecting to be rusty but!!! The collective seemed sensitive as hell. Up and down and around and round I went wondering what had happened to my relatively stable helicopter. I could tell that the tracking was out because as I lifted off the skids did a little chatter on the ground. With quite a bit more grip on the seat than I'm used to, I gained a better control of the little bird and we slowly came to an understanding. I totally have respect for test pilots. I know that they develop some muscles to an extreme. I would expect that enemas are impossible. |
