Oops, maybe I overreacted when I said I lost control completely. I just tried again switching the engine off at X,000 feets, and I don't exactly "lose control". What it does is nose down a LOT, and I am left with no cyclic control somehow, so can't slow down the fall. Sounds like what Bill said, I lost hydraulic pressure when turning the engine off, hence lost the ability to actuate the blades... result is the same though... I can't practice autorotation :o( > The bo105 is actually quite different to a Bell 206; things such as > non-flapping blades on the bo105 give it very different flight > characteristics. Ah well, you certainlky know a lot more than me (which isn't difficult as I know so little ! ;o). All I meant is that I expected the bo105 to react "more" like a Bell 206 than, say, a Super Puma or Chinook. But again, I don't know much so I am happy to be corrected...
