How does jump takeoff work on a fixed pitch blade?
I understand how jump takeoff work on a variable pitch blade work. On a fixed pitch one? Even though I see one doing that on a youtube video, I still don't get it. Can anyone enlighten please?

No way that I can think of to "jump" without rotor pitch change.

Has pitch change look closely at the rotor hub. If you watch the video he talks about the rotor pitch change.
