FlySigi Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Anybody knows anything about a "Rotor Angle" test? In the video you can see a guy holding a pole onto the running rotor blade tip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helipilotm Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 That's the old way of tracking the blades... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Called "flag tracking".The F-shaped stick held a cloth strip that was moved into the disk edge until the rotor ends just touched it, the end tabs each being marked with a different color china marker/grease pencil.
