DB....I come from the Throttle Friction bfull on School.

I have no problem winding both of them off....and that is during normal times.....add some Adrenalin and it would get easier yet.

Having been in a Huey that had a tail rotor drive failure.....the rate of acceraltion of the spin is unbelievable.

by the third rotation the world outside becomes a blur.....and with the throttle chop the spin almost stopped by the time we touched the ground.
