Helmet Fire,
of course you a right!
There is no LTE on a Robinson, well maybe at 60% MRRPM.
At some extreme flying (filming - sideways, etc....) I do run out of pedal, but there is never any loss of TR-power anywhere.
It is fun when one goes sideways (anywhere from 100º to 30º),
once you are all up on power and run out of pedal, you reduce power just a smidgen and the helo has TR again!
I can control the angle at full pedal just by changing the speed a little, playing with the collective just so little...
Okay to the TR-demo, PLEASE don't do this to your students or yourself!! It was a factory designed demo to show the great power of the Robinson TR and I think part of it (as a side benefit) to demo the helo won't come falling as a rock just because the low rpm warning starts to yell....
I use 85% at 1 foot hover, light load, If I have to do recurrency training with oldtimers that HAD to change to the R brand - especially if they come screaming down at 110% - 2000' VS in an auto, because of "fear of death by low RRPM!"
I was in a R-22 when it was shown to me (80%RRPM), and I observed it done at 75% in a R-44.
The blades start to cone at an obscene angle!!
Thanks to the coning hinges the stay pretty much straight though!
