Once I read the manual I see that is flies like the UH-1H, Ka-50, and Mi-8 very little. I use the cyclic to control rapid altitude changes and I am very aware there is little ground effect. This is why folks are flying into the ground. Not going to get into it too much but I have a "few" hours in the SH-3H, SH-60F, MH-60R. Polychop did a great job! In closing, I love the Mi-8 because it is very similar to flying the SH-3H Seaking. The ASE in the SH-3H was a a little better though. Maybe some of you know what Starboard Delta is? :)
