"That is my whole argument relative to Zero G.

What argument, that the lateral component of the [aft] cyclic movement has to be tightly constrained due to the 18 degree offset or the rotor will fall off? It doesn't bear out in practice.
Remember Lu, we are talking about a very brief period, the excessive flapping angles are not brought on by minute movements of the cyclic or fuselage attitude or subtle aerodynamic effects.
The right roll is rapid and disconcerting. The initial action of an uninformed, disoriented or scared pilot is gross overcontrolling. The result is catastrophic.
This is true of any helicopter design where a pilot who is not anticipating enough is faced with a rapidly developing situation that requires prompt and correct action. If the engine fails and he waits too long to salvage and recover RRPM the result is fatal. If he has loss of tail rotor components and flares too agressively, the result is fatal. If he responds to wind gusts or turbulence with excessive corrections the result is fatal. IN ANY TYPE!!
The cure is adequate training, both initial and recurrent, and ongoing awareness of the operating environment. It is NOT a car, don't treat it like one. It is NOT an airplane, don't treat it like one.
