I agree with you. I used the term argument and maybe that was a poor choice of word(s).
My point is that I was trying to show that the fact that the control of the Robinson is far from precice and any mishandling of the controls by an experienced or, unexperienced pilot during the countering of Zero G can result in disaster.
The words I used to indicate what was required to counter Zero G were not mine, they were taken from the Robinson POHs. These books tell the pilot what to do in this situation. They also tell the pilot what not to do under these conditions.
Whether you say that my points are not borne out in actual practice may be true but until they change the wording in Safety Notice SN-11 or in the FAA Rotorcraft Handbook I will have to maintain my points of view.
Have you read my new thread on the 18-Degree offset? That will help to drive my point home.
