10-15kts is light

OW yes but that is a light wind. When Mr 212 wakes up (he's on Borneo time) perhaps he will tell us at what wind speed the maximum hover nose up occurs (or if you like what forward airspeed in level flight. My guess is that it will be around 40kts or so.

You don't presume to have an opinion, but are you saying that no-one else except Nick is entitled to one? It would be a pretty dull forum if only he were allowed to post on technical or aerodynamic issues. The only other posts would be the cooing, gasping and re-posting his CV by his prostrators.

I am not an aeronautical engineer either but I am an instructor and I have to be able to explain flight characteristics to my trainees.

If you look back at this thread (and many others) I think you will find that the first insulting post is from Nick. I just tend to react (even though my mother told me that was the wrong thing to do!)
