That's about what I figured. Here's another question I was asked that I could not find the answer to:

Does load factor effect retreating blade stall, and if so, how? I definitely bent my brain on this one, and even some of my heavier rotorcraft books did not seem to discuss load factor. I know from my fixed wing experience that higher g-loading increases stall speed, so would that mean that a helicopter in a bank would be susceptible to RBS sooner? My guess is yes, but I wasn't sure how blade flap might factor into this and potentially negate the effect of the load factor.
