LIFT OFF THE GROUND


Recommended Posts

Tail rotor thrust used to counteract M/R torque and keep you straight is directed sideways, so you naturally need to counter the sideways drift with some opposite direction cyclic, which tilts the helicopter in that direction a little, hence not 'flat' at lift off or landing.

Heavier you are the more torque you need to lift off = more tail rotor = more required cyclic 'tilt'.

 

Right cyclic/pedal for Mi-8 and Gazelle, Left cyclic/pedal for Huey.

Elementary helo physics, just compensate with your controls.

 

Exactly this, pull the collective up until the wheels are light on the ground, compensate torque with the pedals. adjust cyclic to lift off wheels level depending on your load.... it is always different.

 

the MI-8 is the best chopper in DCS bar none.

We dream of the MI-24 being as good as this.

Vaicom user. Thrustmaster warthog user. MFG pedals with damper upgrade.... and what an upgrade! Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height with brail enhancements to ensure 100% button activation in VR.. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.... you know when you are dropping into VRS with this bad boy.
