I think it depends on some degree whether you are flying wheeled or skidded helicopters.

Gullibell - agreed, in fact it is the anticipation of that swing into alignment that is the difficult thing to teach, if you wait until it swings before you land it is already too late. The control...

Having said that, I...

Palma - that is exactly what Jellycopter is talking about - it wasn't a TR failure, it was a loss of TR control.

It is straightforward, with a TR failure, the TR is producing no thrust in any...
