Gordy...I wasn't disagreeing with what you said because when I wrote what I wrote...I hadn't seen what you said...
.
Up until a few months ago I had two very experienced pilots working for me (+ 10,000 hours and ATPs) and the differences of opinion sometimes where pretty dramatic. Now one is still here but in the others place is a wet behind the ears kid w/ only 4,500 hrs....and the differences are different (he talks about when he used to fly R44s instead of H-21s
)...but still there. And the damn kid is sometimes the one that's right .
I flew for the Army long enough (30 years) to see "helicopter aerodynamics" change three times...so what I know as the "gospel according to Rucker" may be different tomorrow. (Actually I had a helicopter aeronautical engineer tell me what us pilots learned is still wrong....but close enough for what we need
)
