I believe Anfi has said twice he was referring to the tail rotor... And the electric trim was 5hite on the R44
no, he argued that since a 369 main rotor was the same size as a Mi 26 tail rotor and the former didn't need hydraulic assistance, it followed in his logic that the latter, or any other TR for that matter, didn't need hydraulics which is clearly cobblers.
Perhaps he forgets that the 369 had electric trim actuators to reduce the control loads as well - you never know with AnFI, he flip-flops from one part of the argument to another without pausing for breath.
Perhaps he would like to show how a 6 tonne helicopter can have a TR without hydraulic assistance?
I am sure his answer will be that it just isn't designed properly since his ego puts him so far above the legion of designers, engineers and manufacturers who have been making helicopters for many years.
AnFi, have you ever operated a multi-crew helicopter on anything other than a sightseeing jaunt? perhaps you might better understand that having a second pilot is for far more reasons than just giving redundancy for medical emergencies affecting the PF.
