Mil Helis with rotor mounted Radars
I hope this question dosn't sound silly,
Due to the adventure of the Americans and Brits in the Middle East we see regularly Helis with Radar/Target seeking equipment mounted above the Rotorhead, with much hidden equipment that must run down the centre of the M/Gbox rotor shaft does all this higher up equipment alter the flight envelope and place any other limits on the original performance of the Helis involved?

I'd hate to have to untangle all the wires though!
