Heli logging in Canada in a Kamov....hmmm...it's tempting. But I'll probably just be ever so boring and try and save enough pennies to go to Russia again next year and get to fly one there - along with all the other aircraft I wanted to fly but couldn't.
I think getting rid of a tail rotor sounds like a nice idea, but I do kind of feel safer if my pedals work when and in the way that I expect them to; I'm odd that way. Just for general interest, in R. W Prouty's "Even More Helicopter Aerodynamics", which is where I'm finding out all this (for me) rather obscure stuff, he tells of someone whose first helicopter was a coaxial, presumably in the days before anyone did fancy things to reverse the pedals in autorotation:
"The first time he tried to autorotate, he found himself spinning around and around even though he was using full rudder pedal in what he thought was the correct direction. It was only with a few hundred feet of altitude remaining that he decided he didn't have anything to lose by pushing with the other foot, thereby saving himself."
Arrrrggggggghhhhh!!!! I don't even want to think about it.
Maybe I'll stick to nice conventional helicopters with tail rotors.
