tbc,
I bet the bobbies love those long winter night shifts with you.
Understand what you are saying about the 1" right pedal but in that scenario we are controlling the fan and producing an additional force to the thruster. Was the Japanese accident a thruster failure or a total system jam?
I take it from the little I can gather "outside the loop" that possibly the tailboom extension modification is causing a failure of the rotating cone control rod? Hence the German crash.
Yaw trim switch on the collective. Is that the one that can change heading via yaw below 50kts or am I mixing my aircraft?
I still think the basic theory works but as we know in the world of PoF not anything is as it seems. Some of my instruction must have been flawed and I didn't spot it
