Thread: Robinson helicopters - new possible rules CAA

The aircraft affect from neg G is a right roll. well more like a really fast snap roll to the right.
The natural reaction is left cyclic. But that lead's to catastrophic events. The real recovery is aft cyclic. As R93 said....unnatural to what the pilot is seeing.
It isn't just confined to Robinsons. Any two bladed helicopter can be effected.
However.....Robinson has had many many blade failures. Both departing in flight, to cracking. There was a series of blades coming off in flight in the 90s.
For me, thats unreliable.
I will never fly one again.
Robbie lovers will give me shit. But tons crash, mostly unexplained.
Robinson will never make composite blades, or make it a 3 bladed system which mast bumping doesn't occur in as it admits to design flaw. Robbies rotor design is completely different to any other 2 bladed heli.

Happy to go into more Principles of flight to explain MB more.
