Turbulence and Low G
to bladewashout
The theory is simple and correct, but in turbulent weather it does not come like "...a feeling of weightlessness during a maneuver...", YOU are not maneuvering, 'IT' is maneuvering, anticipation is key.
When I get the hitchy feeling I am about to hit an important down-draft, I start sort of a flare, that is well before I get weigthless.
By doing this
You have the tail down,
You anticipate the descent,
You (can) reduce some speed
You have the cyclic aft and can keep the disk loaded without big chocks.
