If you are climbing out at MCP you will be the same load/stress at what ever weight, right? Lighter = higher ROC, heavier = lower ROC. Too heavy = no ROC.

WRONG! WTF? The head / rotor has to produce a force equal to the weight of what's hanging beneath it. So overweight = overstress on the design limits of the head / rotor. A bit like if you were hanging by your arms on monkey bars and some fat f$&ker grabs hold of your ankles for the ride. Are you seriously telling us your arms, wrists and grip wouldn't feel any difference?

Are you honestly a helicopter pilot??!!! SND summed up the best advice on where to go and the best manner in which to do it a few posts previously. You clearly don't understand even the very basics.
