just found your channel gary, currently restoring an exec 90 rotorway that has mast bump cuts in the rubber cover of the mast. it is like a "dirty secret" of rotary craft, which has such devastating consequences. glad to hear it is well addressed in the check ride.thank you.
Hello Gary, very interested you and I appreciate this good tutorial, which happens when the droop stops are broken in an R44, and the pilot does not report anything?..

Those cuts are likely from handling and not from contact in flight

I own a gazelle helicopter, three rotor blades but blades can bump tail boom..
Well be careful then
04:07 - "upper slung rotor system"
Wonderful video @garycleveland2989 👏
Thanks bud
Is there anyway to practice this?
Yes, but not recommended. Just discussed these days.
Key takeaway: Don’t fly shonkey helicopters that have teetering rotors.
Maybe someday The design will be as robust as an aerobatic RC model helicopter....
Quick question ... would raising the collective also not load the rotors (as well as /instead of any cyclic movement ) ?
Good question, although I have not got the answer. Best to do as the experts instruct us to do in the Helicopter Flying Handbook.
