Avio Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Noticed the is a "windmill-like" device attached to the tip of the nose, that occasionally rotates a little. Wonder what that is for? Couldn't find anything mentioned in the manual.
Blackeye Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I'd say its an AoA sensor so you know the angle at which the air is flowing around the helicopter - might even be used to turn a tube directly into the air stream to get the correct air speed.
