Heedm,

I do not misunderstand Lu, unfortunately. Even though he now denies what he posted, his drivel of 14 November said, "This constant fuselage displacement will cause the rotor system to constantly change in relation to the fuselage."

That clearly describes a non-commanded rotor motion, does it not? That is the heart of Lu's drivel, that the rotor has a mind of its own, and the precession causes rotor motions that possibly roll over the Puma.

I have landed on dozens of such rigs, and unfortunately investigated several roll overs that were caused by a combination of the slope of the boat and the wind. No strange forces from Jupiter, and Nixon is still dead. Talking dynamics with Lu is like calling the Psychic Hotline for advice.
