Great thread,
Nick, thanks for the charts and especially the picture of the little midget helo on your site.
Imagining myself as very small and inside the little helo in the picture I was wondering about the recovery at that point.
The state is fully developed,
Cyclic not making desired effect,
Collective has become excercise machine for left arm,
Disc not happy, pilot not happy.
But the tailrotor can still provide translating force to the fuselage. Tractoring it (and the disc) away from the bad ju-ju happening at the time.
I'd think that a fair amount of pedal input (not enough for a spin) should slowly edge your disc out of it's nasty state to the point where the other controls start to take effect again.
Holes in the idea?
Obviously pedal input topping the engines would be a concern.
