S-76 questions.
Just have a couple of questions to satisfy my curiousness on this aircraft. Although pushing 30, I still think it's the prettiest heli on the block.
1. Is the front wheel differential braking steered, lever steered or tail rotor steered? And if they're brake steered, are these brakes on the pedals?
2. I've sometimes seen them do rolling take-offs into TL, but never seen them land that way. Could you land the S-76 in an airplane-style rolling touch-down?
3. The instrument panels height in combination with the nose high hover attitude must make it tricky to see straight out. Is this a problem in a steep approach?
4. Are they nice to fly?
