Collective check after flaring
I went out and tried this after reading Shawn Coyle's "Little Book of Autorotations". I cannot believe how good this works!!! When he said he had done one to the ground without touching the cyclic(after the flare) I figured it was worth a try! I just circled the cyclic after the flare and did a small collective check-the Brantly leveled perfectly and the cyclic stick did not have to be moved forward at all! I was extremely impressed with this. Seeing is believing it works great! As he points out the cg needs to be forward of the main rotor mast for this to work but the vast majority of helicopters are like this.
