Nick / Lu

Not that I fly Robinson products, but answer a simple question without all the gobbledygock. Does full pedal deflection in an R22 create xs flapping of the blades, so much so that mast bumping / rotor incursion occurs ?
Lu presumably you will say yes with Georgia Tech's view
Nick presumably you will say no. But Nick do you go against Geogia Tech and if so why ?

While talking of peal deflection the MD600 was only certified in UK with a 135 kt VNE due to out of balance problems above that speed.

I am now retreating to my old air raid shelter
