Hi Nick. You always remembered everything, and I cannot recall the following, so maybe, since you are still on " active duty " so to speak ( still working ), here is a question:

The UH-60 attacked this aero mode by feeding a lateral accelerometer ( sideslip ) signal to the stabilator electronics. Did the Army give the UH-60 electronics to the AH-64 so as to copy this feature? ( I do know they used stabilator actuators with an S-70 part number, because I saw that on aircraft at Ft Rucker ).

Way, way off topic, but the next AHS South Florida Meeting on Nov 12 will feature the Miami Red Bull Flugtag two-time winning team from the Sikorsky Development Flight test Center. Imagine these helicopter guys winning a fixed wing gig! Come on down!
