Perhaps I'm missing something, but nobody seems to have asked yet. Your original post says throttle not closed until leveling skids--are you saying you have power ON during "autorotation", or is it that you maintain a high idle while sprague clutch disengaged during autorotation?

I've not seen either usage described in texts. Is there a reference?

I have no problem with maintaining a high idle, of course, given the potential for an unsuspected carb-ice-dead-engine if the R22 tach reads below 55, ergo telling you nothing!
