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...
