Depends on who you ask...
a fan? ”Of course, bring in the 212!” ...
a pilot? ”We dont care, we have headsets” ...
a wounded climber? “Was there any noise? I didn’t notice, but it was nice being rescued”.

In those vids the tail rotor seems to have a huge 'negative' coning angle (tips a lot closer to the fin than the root). Also, the angle of attack of the TR on the lift and turn seems large.
Are these artefacts of the video or are the forces required that big?

I would bet its a visual effect of the camera shutter. Same reason blades appear to bend cord wise.
That amount of flapping (if real) would induce huge lead-lag strain, just thinking.

In the first video love the way ATC get the other helicopters to hold while they get the Robinson down safely.... just in case!

Sadly there will be no Ascot this year shall miss the helicopters and the well dressed fillies parading around and I’m not talking about the horse’s 😳

The ‘pilot’ of that R44 had ‘his collar felt’ by the Feds immediately after landing on that day. His approach didn’t conform to any of the published procedures. Hence the 2 other aircraft having to stack up behind him.
