Lu,
forget it!!
If the R's couldnīt be sideslipped or flown out of trim, they would not get certified. They have to demonstrate a 17 kts crosswind capability, which is by no means a limitation, according to the man at the safety course.
AND: A recommendation is a recomendation NOT a ristriction/recommendation! You only can violate a limit or law or prohibition not a recommedation!
I'm not sure though on the grammar!!
RDR:
I'll be back later with the rear cylic slightly left for low-g recovery...
AND as Tim Tucker points out: These are not rumours, but exactly what I stated - brainstorming!! Nothing concrete as of this hour. Basically it depends all which powerplant if they find one, as the helicopter configuration will depend a lot on the specific engine (turbine, piston - gas/diesel, warp drive, .....)
