Seems to me that the standard system would be prone to sucking air if the aircraft enterred zero G.
I recollect that minimum pitch on the 105 is 4 degrees 15 min. Interesting effects if you rig it to less!!!!
you do not need negative pitch to get negative G.
Just push the cyclic stick slightly forward. The same is valid for Reiner Wilkes nice rolls.
Negative G on the Bo105 will cause the engine oil pressure to go to zero immediately. From my memory the MGB was not affected like this.
The feeder tank is always full as long as there is fuel in the main tank, with the surplus from the transfer fuel pumps flow poring back into the main tank. There is no time limit for the negative G for fuel purpose but the total time on the minus side will nit be long.
