Nick,
Every time I read 'control laws', something cold runs up my spine! Are they set in concrete, or are they flexible enough to allow a pilot to put a bit of 'dutch' into the demand, and do something that will skew the helicopter the way he wants it to go? I know that I often demand my machine to get out of balance, skid, slide or drift, especially when a film job needs that little bit different to get the shot. Does FBW allow this, or will we become a slave to those "control laws" ?
