Question

To: Vfr

I may be talking out of the back of my head and I don’t know if Frank Robinson or for that matter anyone else would agree. However it seems to me that as long as the pilot does not induce high flapping loads and the resultant mast bumping, the main rotor is operating at well below normal stress levels during the period of zero G and as such, there should be no mechanical problems resulting from the incident.

Anybody else got any other ideas?
