Part 6
Something I'm wondering and can't quite understand. The tilting of the rotors while spinning close to lift off but still on the ground is hard to move via cyclic stick. Probably twice as hard than in the air, if the tilting of the rotors is 98% areodynamic 2% weight shift why is there such a difference in control force from on the ground to in the air? Do standard blade feathering helicopters experience the same thing ? Is the same thing true with gyros ?
