No - actually I'm not a bit off. This is the beginner forum and I intentionally gave a beginner explanation, no need to bury him in information. Simplifying the answer and leaving out info is not the same as being wrong.
You need to lighten up a bit. It's beginning to look less like you want to help people and more like you just want to impress people.
Sigh - looks like my first instinct about not posting was probably correct.
Thank you for that statement. maybe now we can continue with a discussion without the urge to correct people.
i'm going to bury solman with information now...... On a Collective Pitch helicopter, with a properly set-up pitch curve or a properly set-up governor, the rotor RPM STAYS relatively the same. You change the angle of the blades to raise or lower the helicopter. but you knew that already, right? Oh, wait, you did not. cause you corrected karlik on his statement.
But then we are in the beginners forum, you want to give information to the newbie, but ....
1. you don't want to bury them in information,
2. you don't want to give them the wrong information...
