Seem to recall flying the Huey on fixed floats when empty (aft CoG) the Vne was limited to 80 knots so as to be able to control the pitch up if Mr. Lycoming decided to take the day off. At 100 knots, the normal Vne, the cyclic was buried in the instrument panel in such conditions. Memory is decades old, so details may be a little off.
