NR,

Good on ya for seeking advice and not just flying off.

The 22 can handle amazing amounts of "rough" treatment. I guess having a big donk loafing about instead of ringing it's guts out helps.


Both needles "Off the scale" a wee bit hard to work out if the donk went to 111% or 130%. The ginger beers will have to make an assesment of possible damage.

Done something very similar years ago (overspeed on start H300). Got a pretty good idea how you're feeling cheer up! in a 100yrs it won't matter at-all.

Personnally I teach manual throttle to 100% then gov on, wind throttle off a bit 95% to see it takes up the slack. Pick-up to the hover make sure gov keeps 104%.

Shut-down, manual throttle to 75%.....then gov off.


I don't like the way the gov "Cranks" on the throttle if you let it pick up from 80% (black box runaway springs to mind).

I've caught too many students trying to wind on throttle during shut down while fussing with the gov, so ensure they roll throttle off before thinking about anything else.


Ohh look, the suns come up. It must be another day
