At 0:33s - 9200, at 2:30 - 7200. So, vertical speed was about 1000fpm.About 50s-60s per 1000 feet (ish) or 11 miles per hour, I must calculate my descent rate.
Would be interesting to have data on various blades sizes and total machine weights to compare how descent rates vary at zero or near zero indicated air speedMy M16 has a vertical descent rate at zero airspeed of over 1600 fpm.
I am surprised the M24 is that much different.
Of course if your forward airspeed is anything less than zero, that slows the descent.
Sure it was not 0 IAS, except during the first several seconds, otherwise yaw would be impossible to compensate with rudder.I don't think that was a "ZERO" Indicated Airspeed Vertical descent; watching the clouds, there was a little bit of forward/horizontal movement also.
I learned something from your post too! Today I had no idea you even exist, and now I know you are coming to this forum and learning something every time. Good to know!What the hell, every rime I come on this forum I learn something!
I had no idea that the sky was 9000 feet high OR that a gyro could get up there
I discovered the higher I went in the Bensen the smaller the seat got.had no idea that the sky was 9000 feet high OR that a gyro could get up there
I agree with you that M25 is certainly not very different from M16My M16 has a vertical descent rate at zero airspeed of over 1600 fpm.
I am surprised the M24 is that much different.
The AR-1 can easily keep "0" forward airspeed and maintain almost full rudder authority - it has a humongous rudder surface compared to all other modern gyros.Sure it was not 0 IAS, except during the first several seconds, otherwise yaw would be impossible to compensate with rudder.
