chaos?

[david]

Anyone tell me the initial stick movements for a chaos launch? Buggered oif
i can tell from the video.

D,

Its a take-off with a pirouette and a circluar movement on the cyclic.

i.e.
start tail in : right rudder +ve pitch , forward cyclic
at 90 degrees, right rudder 0 pitch, left cyclic
at 180 degrees, right rudder, back cyclic
at 270 degrees, right rudder, right cyclic.. etc

Thats the easiest way to explain it... if it's a true 'chaos' launch
then its better to add more pirouettes per flip... its works on the
same basis as above but more difficult to explain :)

Basically if you use right rudder, then add forward cyclic when tail
in the right way up, back cyclic when inverted tail in.. etc etc......
smaller but faster amounts of cyclic are added so that there is a
gradual flip while is it contstantly priouetting.

Hold the same amount of rudder... go up and down on the collective,
and bake a cake with your cyclic.

Give it a go, watch out for the ground :-)

whoops better add in some -ve pitch there - Ed
