Any insights from the two videos on controllability? Cabin, tailboom and rotor system all look intact, rpm. As a group we waxed on endlessly about the 169 with a T/R problem, but so far nothing from here. Not all of us can be a Richard Moffatt and successfully land an AW139 without a tailrotor (he did it into HK harbour from the challenge of a full power climb), but he proved it was possible.
