So topend - you are saying that you are right and that the rest of the known helicopter world is wrong.. I'm surprised there is room for your ego in the cockpit

If engineers call VRS 'settling with power' it is because they do not understand the difference between the 2 which is vast. And a 23 year old reference doesn't help your argument that we are slow to embrace new ideas.

There really is a fully developed VRS which will give several thousands of fpmin RoD and it won't go away in 200 feet.

You are either deliberately winding people up by posting b*ll*cks or you really do believe your own theories - which is worrying.

If a lot of R22s crash during mustering I would suggest that maybe it's because letting cowboys fly an aircraft that was designed as a commuter and is always underpowered is not a great idea (even if it is cheap). Excellent manoeuvreability requires lots of excess power, good control power and good control margins, none of which are demonstrated by the R22.
