Think Rainer would tend to disagree on this statement.

Rainer took me on a practice run and did the display, the only thing he mentioned that was special was to always check the TRGB oil levels and top it up as it bled out under negative G.

when i first saw that video of those claims, i knew he was a prima donna showboater. The mustache should have been a dead giveaway. And I laughed to myself at his ignorance to the industry professionals that would sure out him as a joke.
I have no respect for him other than he pulls off some nice manoeuvres most wouldn't do in an aircraft more than capable of doing it with or without him.
Bravo Chuck.

Mast moment has nothing to do with the g-load pulled.
High mast moments usually happen when in contact with the ground (e.g. slope landings or harsh checks of the cyclic when doing the hydraulics checks before T/O).

Thats absolutly right, MM is an indicator for bending the Rotormast, not the load carried

However: as you said here, Flying Bull:
You can also exceed the MMI-limit recovering from a dive - with a high power setting - important to know, when playing with the helicopter.
Better to reduce the collective, before pullong out and appling it then again - less stress for the mast and no lights ;-)

EDML, same point applies.

Chuck Aaron said that he converted the BO to a "rigid, single-piece titanium head [...] that has composite rotor blades coming off of it", that "the transmission is bolted down hard, hard-mounted to the airframe" and "so technically that's how I can do it, it's just from those modifications"...
Converting a BO105 to a rigid rotor head and composite blades, now that's in one league with walking on water!

I worked with the LS version for 5 years and confirm all he describes is standard build. Transmission is mounted to the helicopter floor by 4 struts about 1 m long ( if i think long enough I may remember the part number 105-1xxxxxx4. I cannot think of any other way that transmission could be secured to the deck .
I think Ziggy Hoffman may have been the first to demonstrate the rolls and loops .
