          Weeeellll, orbits do decay. Orbiting is essentially just trying to hit the ground and missing by a little less on each successive orbit

            I’d argue that means the ground is constantly missing, but gets lucky once.

      Vortex ring can be escaped by speeding up,

      The gun still tracks you

        Don’t think so, if you increase thrust, you increase your downward force since it reenforces the vortex. You need to try to lurch forward out of the ring.

          Yes, speeding up (above 60kt i believe), not speeding upwards.

          Increasing torque doesn’t help because it doesn’t change the conditions of what caused it.

          Tbh im just happy they aren’t calling it settling with power, which to me is just CFIT.

          The way it was explained to me was to try and shove the cyclic through the windscreen. Full forwards.
