Crab ... you said
Nigel - it is quite acceptable to go past 90 degree AoB on a well flown wingover
yes I did and it is - I didn't say any Tom, Dick or Harry should try it

so you are saying that effective inverted flight is acceptable? Up against a cliff face picking up pax ?
it's not really inverted flight since it isn't steady state - it is just overbanking. he is not up against a cliff face when he flys the manoeuvre and by the time he picks up the pax he is in a normal approach and landing configuration.

By the way I am quite capable of doing rolls in my Helicoper , let alone 90deg + turns . Why don’t I ?
that implies that you have done so...............or how do you know you are capable of it.

I'm not an ex-mil fighter ace ( you have told us you have enough money to run your own helos but I don't call you a spoilt rich man) but I have experience of manoeuvring a helicopter in what many think are extreme attitudes and you still don't know anything about the pilot in this video.

TC has clearly forgotten some of his history in uniform...........
