Well, the basic breakdown goes like this:
cyclic (joystick): Controls the pitch of the rotor disk (not the
fuselage though) by changing the pitch of individual blades as they go
around. This changes how much lateral thrust there is and what direction
it is pointed in.
collective (throttle): Controls the pitch of all the rotor blades, and
thus the amount of lift.
FADEC or throttle (located on the collective): Controls engine power and
thus rotor RPM, which should remain constant while flying.
pedals: Control tail rotor/fenstron pitch or the air gates on systems
like NOTAR, and subsequently yaw.
Hi Josh
Ah, this is the clue I think I needed.... trying to fly with
auto-coordination "on" would explain why i'm hearing alot of that sickening
"crash" and view the runway lying on my side?
