helidrvr,
no problem here.
Lu:
Your quals mean squat. Period. Sandcrab (look that one up, it's an affectionate Navy term)
You come here making your predictions and asking everyone to go fly it and do your tests.
Engineer - > do the tests yourself, as it should have been done for your report.
Funny how you want to rely on others to perform tests, are you sure they will report it right? What if everyone did the test you describe and it doesn't live up to your expectations?
Boy, I can see the responses now "Oh you failed to do it right, or you forgot to do it in a particular manner."
There is no answer you can give that would be acceptable to any rational human being, let alone a pilot or another engineer for this. Get your own test data yourself and present it as it should have been done.
You made the report, you need to back it up with flight test data, we, the R-22 pilots who fly it all the time, don't have to do anything, one way or another.
If you can't understand that concept, then I really feel sorry for you.
RW-1 is off this topic. As for the last word, you might have one here, but I have it as the R-22's will continue to fly, fly well, and likely continue the trend of being the most widely sold heli in the world.
