Always good posts,

I would suspect that the settings you describe probably work for many stuck conditions but not all.

And I would worry about the torque sharing system on final. If you slipped a throttle or power lever slighly off from the other torque compensating might make the last bit of your ride pretty interesting.

I'm going to try the idea when next at FSI, thanks for the thread.

At a hover with stuck left have you tried reducingthe rpm?

The ship will initially spin faster left but with the reduction of the lift equation over the t/r blades it then slows down quite a bit. Have done it to a stop before.

fly safe
