Flight Safety
Thanks for passing on the exploded view, information and suggestions.
With absolutly no intent to market some weird hypothetical idea
, the following couple of points might be of additional interest.
It's hard to see, but the Kaman rotors do teeter. In addition, they have delta-3, just like the Robinsons. It is used for the same reason that Robinson uses it and in addition, Kaman uses it to handle some of the lead-lag between the two rotors.
The following supports you comment on payload. It is from a pilot with very high hours in many single-rotor craft, plus both Kamans and a Kamov.
"The U.S. Forest Service pays more money for a K-max than they pay for a SK61 ..... Why? ..... because at altitude, 5000 ASL and above the little K-max out lifts the bigger 61. As for the Kamov ? In the states U.S. operators are doing what they can to make sure it can't end up in their back yard.":
