I heard, early in the development process for the 609, that there was a substantial discussion about how the power lever (for want of a better word) was to work. The rotor types on the team wanted it to work 'up and backwards' for increased power and the fixedwing boys wanted it 'backward to forward' for increased power. Can someone tell me what they decided? It would seem to me that the answer to this kind of question would indicate the final design philosophy and also indicate who was going to be most popular poling the thing.
