=== Rotor folding === | |||
The rotor folding is quite simple and works best when the rotors are nearly at the correct position. There are no interlocks so it is possible to starting folding whilst the blades are still rotating. To align correctly, use the rotor brake (press and hold {{key press|n}} to increase braking). The 7th main rotor blade is marked with a "V" letter which should be pointing out to the tailboom. | |||
