please read my post at the top of the 2nd page, do you think the experiment should work? you would 'see' the Gyroscopic precession before the disc came to rest at a nose down atitude. i dont have access to a chopper at the moment otherwise i would know.

the rotor disk is a rotating body(disc) using air to change its axis! hic'up!
