Aaaaand here we go again!!
"1 sec. to death on the R-22 myth!"
I can demo you at least 3 sec. WITHOUT moving the collective at all..
Just have to flare progressively....
1 sec is the time if you want to maintain speed and altitude.

There was a thread sometime with a R-22-turbine.
However it was a homebuilt-project, that was to use a R-22 cabin section, nothing else...
I saw a couple of times a rotor NOT stop with the right angle and amount of wind, but never start spinning by itself....
James Bond is fun, but at least they should keep it remotely possible.
The Porter, the Turbine-R22, the BD-5.
But 350-backyard, MD-freefall-start, etc, get out of here!!
I asure you we are not the only ones to complain about Holywood:
Discussing this very subject with a client he said his wife was all upset with
"The Gladiator" ???
She is a Historian and Archeologist - some of the costumes were over 300 years wrong!! Imagine yourself running around in 1700 outfits...
So, Aviation is not the only area for mistakes "only professionals would see" !!
