I took this from another discussion.
"except the only time I ever got into the "Servo Transparency" in my 2,000 + Astar hours was in a B model (Approx 4000 lb AUW) in a gentle turn around a fire on a calm August day at 4,000 Ft....go figure that one out??? "
I only mention it because somebody said that it only happens under extreme conditions. I have found that things like this that could happen often do just when you don't want them, despite what designers and test pilots say. In that respect, I think it should have been fixed before now. The accumulator is there to allow reduction in speed in a timely manner without going to the expense of adding a second hydraulic system.
And talking about hangovers from gazelles.... our Twinstar has a crap electrical system as well, but I won't go there....
