Hehe, Chop Chop!
I know very ''well'' how the trim worked, thanks...
Now, I wonder if you 2 geniuses can't just contact MIL and ask them why they don't develop a single engine MI26?? You guys are brilliant! For sure, it would be saving the weight of the ''other'' extra deadweight, combining gearbox, and all those extra bull**** systems not needed. Leave out the HYD systems, as that just complicate stuff...and a real Chop/AnFI designed machine would need only 1 pilot (with fairly strong arms) to fly it. When you're at it, maybe you should ask Sikorsky as well, why the hell they have been making the S64/CH54 all these years with 2 engines...Completely waste of time and efforts! Those were sure as hell not made with regards to overfly congested areas and CAT operations according to EASA regs.
Yeah, the Kamax is a real great example no?! What a success story....
As for the 214's, originally planned exclusively for Iran and military use. Khomeini changed that plan...
