Funny thing, some of people on other forums think he had the mags off, if that's even possible?
there are two types of panel magneto key indicators for the R44 it seems:
- the first design: start at 10 o clock (off) and goes to 1 o clock (2 mag)
- the second design: that start at 1 o clock (off) and goes to 4 oclock (2 mag)
the video shows the key at 1 o clock in flight but the panel has the graphics of the second design, that would lead you to believe the mags are off.
