B47's are high inertia

R22's like many others are LOW inertia.

In that situation an audio and visual cue has proven useful.

High inertia blades keep on flappin man, an' if you haven't noticed that they was slowin' down, as Lord Mount says, then you orta be in the loony bin.

I am dismayed, my ab-initio instructor was also ex Brit Army and there is absolutely no f'n way he would make that comment.

Tell that to your over stressing empiracle dogs body.

The only thing that might help on the '47 panel is a low oil pressure warning, audio or visual.

Did you notice that Frank puts his Oil Pressure gauge right where you can see it, - every time - with the quickest flick of the eye, but the '47, it is somewhere over there.

It is the only thing that keeps you alive.
