A couple of design aspects of the Chinook stick with me...
The Cyclic Stick Postioning system....that trim wheel device that allowed you to position the cyclic to a comfortable position. Which one had to remember to center again prior to ground ops.
The other was the ability for the old Girl to jack the Aft Pylon off the airframe if the FE left the Ramp Control lever in the down position and the Pilots forgot to re-engage the Cyclic Force Trim. The problem occurred when the cyclic moved forward...the ramp went down as the tail rose....and the Pilot finally waking up and realizing a problem existed....pulled the Cyclic back to where it should have been all along.....to discover the ramp was firmly planted on Planet Earth which was not going to shift out of its orbit despite the pilot trying to make it do so with the cyclic pull.
