A Helicopter 'Expert' speaks!
He sounds like the sort of GIMP who needs to put the books down and get out of his bedroom. I had a tw#t on my rotary course who sounded just like him, thought he knew it all.
How about we have a thread and work out what his next log in name will be ?
I'm guessing "Wikapidia" as he is the fountain of all knowledge.

LOL, what gems.
I think he is the guy who probably also started the rumour that when your car pulls to the left its by design to stop you going into a head on with the car in the opposite lane when you nod off!

Thinking outside the box.
High Speed Helicopter ~ US patent 4,720,059
The 'Abstract' of the above patent says ".... a tiltable mast which is located a substantial distance off to the retreading blade side of the fuselage of the helicopter. This causes the fuselage to be located completely under the advancing blades."
Hoyt Stearns has two or more patents and has made at least one presentation before the American Helicopter Society.
The above concept may, or may not, be valid. However it does provoke technical thought; just as Lu Zukerman's posts used to provoke lively and interesting threads on this forum.
Mr. Stears can be contacted on another Rotary Xxxx Forum, if desired.
