Good story, kept me interested.
I like how you always keep the uninitiated folks clued in.

Barbara Gavins last blog post..BLG: @Pistachio – What’s up at the BCEC? Used to stay at the Westin for VON – very convivial hotel bar set up.

Nice and informative post. Makes me want to pay a visit to this airport with my homebuilt (fixed wing, another 2 years to go on the project). Will pass this story along to my Robinson flying friend in the UK.

Well, think of it this way: our blades are our wings. Like you, we need forward speed on our wings to create lift. We create that forward speed by spinning our wings. If the wings don’t speed fast enough (as in low rotor RPM), they stall, just like a plane that’s flying too slowly.

It’s all the same concepts, just applied differently.

Very interesting. Us fixed-wing flyers don’t realize what you go through with the rotary wings.
