hi all you chopper jocks, from an admiring 'seized-wing' pilot,
Obviously I dont have the in depth knowledge that you guys do, but after reading this thread I'd like to give my 2-cents worth
it seems the 'safest' way to go is trim the helo for straight and level flight, with the pilot feeling stick force in a turn, as a tactile feedback cue from the a/c systems re the rate etc of turn. Same with the speed issue, more speed = more force felt thru stick....uh, cyclic
all the while keeping a scan going of the instruments to check the tactile feed back you get thru the stick corresponds to what you think the a/c is doing and this is confirmed thru the instruments...
or am I missing something
