Very good work to the crew, what an interesting video! You can clearly watch the shift in phase lag when the drive link fails. The forward cyclic that was being used for forward flight becomes a left cyclic input when that link breaks and the phase angle changes. I'm curious what effect the collective had throughout the forced landing. Did changing collective setting compress the pitch change links and cause an even greater change in phase angle as the PCL's lagged behind even further. Very interesting to see those results. Good work guys!
