CEFOSKEY, this does my head in too. Jack Carson's comments are not dissimilar to the test pilot comments on the Lockheed XH-51 (similar to S69 with PT6 driving rotor and J60 Turbojets) and BELL 533 (T53 driving rotor and J69-T-9, later J69-T-29, turbojets), in that the rotor was providing most of the thrust at low speed. I read this in Prouty somewhere (i think).
