PhrogPhlyer Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Thanks Macro. This 47 has a very realistic fully functioning swashplate/connecting rod/stab-bar system going to the rotor/mast. Great for visualizing how all those connect/work. Unfortunately it has the pilot on the incorrect side (fly helos from right seat). This came from the need for the pilot to move the collective (and lift the swash plate) that was directly connected to the rotor system, so the collective was placed as close to directly under the rotor mast as possible. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas.
