shy torque: excellent humour! i was picturing how you look like now when i read "rpm to zero".
i had a really long day, only to continue into the night with a following news flight in the morning on a jetranger that was overloaded with equipment, reporter, and fuel. flying tailwind at 500' along a city street, i pedal-turned (following the centerline of the road) the aircraft so that i could hover into the wind. fatigue made my brain work slower and i didn't think when the helicopter slowly started a descent, and upon reaching 100% torque, the machine suddenly was in a well developed settling with power. nose down (slightly), freeze, and recover 80' over the ground. the reporter was very quiet after that, and i was wide awake!
