280C v FX

You have it Savoia ... I normally display the earlier Enstrom C models simply because the later FXs have a fully co-related throttle system, but which needs reverse throttle movement in some manoeuvre configurations. In display work I need my attention OUTSIDE so prefer to manually control throttle. Having said that. Enstrom's latest co-relation is especially good and reduces pilot workload significantly. Please keep the pics a coming! Dennis K.

PS. When I experienced the T/R failure at the 1999 Biggin Hill Air Fair display, I was flying the FX version. I had the devil's own job putting the heli down safely mainly due to wrestling with the throttle the co-relation.
