redfish Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 :thumbup: nice landing without tail :megalol: Couldn't believe it myself. Lose a tail rotor in the huey and crash. Lose a tail in the Ka-50 and crash. Lose one in the Mi-8 and with a lot of lady luck and you could walk away....

NRG-Vampire Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Couldn't believe it myself. Lose a tail rotor in the huey and crash. Lose a tail in the Ka-50 and crash. Lose one in the Mi-8 and with a lot of lady luck and you could walk away.... Ka-50 wont crash without tail but will be nose heavy ;) yeah, what's that black bar in the upper right corner ? forces/loads/pressure on tail rotor etc ? Don't know, haven't read the manual :) edit: we got nothing yet about that bar in the manual, neither in russian manual :( Edited September 5, 2013 by NRG-Vampire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luzifer Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Couldn't believe it myself. Lose a tail rotor in the huey and crash. Lose a tail in the Ka-50 and crash. Lose one in the Mi-8 and with a lot of lady luck and you could walk away.... A couple of days ago on the Virtual Aerobatics server, I watched someone break off the tail of their Huey, fly up, and land a minute later. Without even ripping off their rotor blades.

Skulleader Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 WOW, The Russian engineers know to create the very resistant helicopters, after one chute like that the Mi-8 is almost intact... The crew members are very lucky, incredible this chute...

AlphaOneSix Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Those bars show the autopilot's inputs into the hydraulic flight control actuators. If they are not moving, the autopilot is probably off or malfunctioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
