So......flying 60 degree or even 30 degree turns makes the helicopter technically overweight for the duration of the turn but thats ok as you are within the max weight at take off. It therefore must be correct that flying slightly overweight in a straight line puts less strain on the heli than flying within weight through terrain that requires lots of banks/turns. So I'm still wondering how they work out the max weight with such variable forces?
