OK Lu, I am back and will further pare down my quote to try to force you to address my point without getting off topic.
CROSS COUPLING OR PITCH COUPLING ARE ALLOWED IN THE CERTIFICATION OF A HELICOPTER BUT ONLY TO THE POINT THAT IT IS NOT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THE PILOT TO MANAGE CONTROL.
My point: even without recent R22 or R44 time, the control sense is natural and comfortable, hence it meets the criteria specified. To be blunt, F**K the rest of it, address this.
Your contention with reference to R22 control has D**K to do with the Lynx. If you cannot defend this contention, admit it.
I have a 1000 hr of medium helicopter time of various SAS / AFCS / Helipilot configurations, your long-winded explanations merely serve to clutter the posts without contributing. Stick to the point.
"I don’t doubt that the Robinson is comfortable to fly once you get used to the “T” bar cyclic and that after some time you become accustomed to your arm position and hand position. "
What in the H**L does the T-bar have to do with this discussion (BTW: the adjustment time to get 'accustomed' is in the neighbourhood of 5 seconds).
"Again in theory when you are performing the above control inputs and ending up in the comfortable hand position / forward flight you in effect have masked the 18-degree offset and are in effect compensating for it by moving your cyclic to the right of the rigged neutral position."
The rigged neutral position is an irrelevant concept. Any C of G shift will result in stick placement away from the neutral. If the displacement due to airspeed, rigging, c of G, etc. is NOT uncomfortable, the contention you have made above is false.
I have tried very hard to be civil throughout these threads, and have tried to return to the basic contention originally addressed in your report that started all this. It is not my fault you regularly get sidetracked by the personal attacks and get into lengthy off-topic discussions of personal worth. Your many statements about the lack of resect you have for the responses you have received is starting to tick me off, so this post is getting more of a rant flavour than I wanted but that's life.
If you want a debate of your concerns about the R22, which I understood was the reason you started the many Robinson threads, then refute the evidence with fact, or accept it.
