The Hind is an enigma to me. I feel like I have a pretty good handle on helicopters and helicopter flight. Very proficient in the Huey and Hip. Passable with Apache. But for whatever reason the Hind perplexes me. I find myself constantly battling when coming into a landing, between the lack of visibility and the propensity for the Hind to enter VRS, anything other than a very long slow approach is instant death.
Also, uncertain if it’s a bug, or intentional, when making a turn in the hind, pulling aft cyclic, if the airspeed drops below ~150kph the nose pitches up violently and performs a “hockey stop”.
https://19216811.cam/ Is this intentional? How do I avoid this?
I guess my question is, what am I missing? What am I doing wrong? Is the Hind just that much of a handful? Is this just a get gud idiot type of thing? Or am I just missing something?
