interesting...

so with the opposing discs on the chinook & sea knight etc. where there is a large seperation between the discs - where is the pivot?

is it evenly spaced between them?

or are the controlling inputs set to produce a higher influence on the aft disc? (ie; turning about the mast in for arguments sake a B206), to give similar handling in terms of nose/tail placement to a standard helo?

or does the pivot occur in the centre of the couple & each end swings at an equal opposing distance.

always have wanted to get in a chook & have a go...they seem to be held near & dear to the hearts of all those that fly/have flown them, & were always sensational to see in action.
