Which helo (full or empty) decelerates faster in descent?
that wholly depends on what forces are acting upon it - another pointless question???

If you mean 'will a heavier aircraft take more power to arrest a descent than a light one?' then the answer is yes but that is't pertinent to the discussion about VRS - more pertinent to SWP.
