If the diameter of helicopter rotor system was too small and thus completely unAffected by the Coriolis Effect, as you incorrectly claim, would you kindly explain why and how a child's toy spinning top topples. How do you suppose the gyroscopes in your AI / AH / DI / T&S work (... you are a pilot, aren't you?), given that they are orders of magnitude smaller than a helicopter rotor system?
At what size did you imagine a rotor (or other rotating) system needs to be in order to go from being completely unAffected, to suddenly, magically and mysteriously becoming susceptible to such forces, in other words, Affected by the Effect?
He thought we were talking about the Coriolis force of the planet, not the rotor.
