Don't kid yourself, I fly an EC-120B so I watch stuff like this with extreme interest. Not necessarily applicable to my bird. The general info is a good reminder for me.
How many people watch how to drive videos. You should.

LOL
Reminds me of one of the many training videos you are required to watch before allowed access into a major facility. Takes all day to watch videos, answer questions, fill out forms, take a test, photo IDs, etc. All to do be granted permission for a half hour job fixing a simple air-conditioner.

I've never flown helo's... Was this issue ever fixed?
Are all helo's affected by this flaw?

@piyoti -Very few helicopters are capable of dealing with negative g maneuvers. Well trained pilots can keep their rotor disk loaded even during maneuvers like loops and rolls, it's the abrupt inputs that you have to be careful of ;)

Helicopters really don't like negative g maneuvers or abrupt pitch/roll inputs. Always keep you rotor disk loaded or you might find yourself without a tail boom, spiraling to the ground. Cool video, still very good info 30 years later ;)

I would have died of old age and boredom before the end of the video...

Boy, that 'aft cyclic' would be difficult to remember if I got caught in a strong updraft beneath a building thunder storm.....

Thanks for posting! I learned that the rotor axis is the most endangered part of a chopper. I didn't know that before.
