I'm curious about the handling of the Scout, sounds adventurous
Only the autos were adventurous, fell out of the sky like a brick and absolutely no inertia in the rotor system. Other than that it was an absolute delight to fly, about the nearest thing to fighter handling, best governor ever, no overspeeds or droop no matter what you did with the collective. The down side was that being such an early example of a turbine helo its capabilities (payload/range) were somewhat less than a Kiowa (B206).
