Hi staycalm. Nice to see a new face here. Just that you know, you are a bit late to the VRS party. We have beaten that dead horse to mush by now in several several threads and most of us get sweaty palms when "VRS" shows up in a title. And for "save" in VRS demos, since I have seen the flight test data of an ONERA VRS research, I will not feel completely save in a VRS demo ever again. The increased flapping is just too much for my taste and too close to the tail boom.

BTW, has anybody heard anything about the R44 crash a few years ago, where the ship fell out of the sky with a young CFI, probably demoing VRS?
