FWIW.... from what I recall (more than 25 yrs ago), the BO105 had a distinctly different construction of the rotorhead with what I would call now a "stiff rotorhead system" as compared to the then usual designs. The few times I then flew in the thing, makes me recall it banked less than the "conventional types"..... and my experiences don't go beyond Sikorsky's 58, 61, Bell 212's, the Alouette-III and the BO105 :-) Louis _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
