Not wishing to distract a very good thread, but several questions:

Did VRS a while back with a talented R22 instructor, and noted -2000fpm. Also noted the spring to allow collective over-travel, on recovery.

From the numbers given i assume this was only insipient VRS, but full VRS would have been -5000fpm? How does full VRS develope, and would recovery be as quick?

Also, i assume a QS is the helicopter equivalent of a fixed wing Chandelle? So it is a coordinated turn in a very steep bank (i used to get several in when poss )? How does the turn and flare differ from flare and turn?
