Nicolas, can you tell us what you have done to prevent low-G rollover from prop torque?
There is evidence that this problem was as much to blame for Pee We Judge's death in a Wallis at Farnborough as was PPO.
Thanks.
Doug, Its all in the tail/Engine combination. Sizes, positions, angles.
On that matter... i did not invent anything... just used available knowledge and toke the time to test and apply it.
a step further.......... electronics can help to cancel it even more!!
as far as for Pee We Judge's death my PERSONAL opinion is that the drag of the pod was to much for the tail to hold it pointing in the flight path. Yes.... it started as a low g roll over. I dont think there was a PPO from the low qual. clip i have seen. Any pitching was a result from front area drag.
if he had a much bigger tail it would have given him some seconds to react... preferably by turning and loading the rotors.
