Rare Bear 3km video, August 1989

Re: Rare Bear 3km video, August 1989

To quote Dave Cornell, he once told me that "the three-bladed prop was one of my mistakes".
The pulses off the blades beat the heck out of the air-frame (and any thing that was nearby).

To quote Lyle, I didn't care it went faster. Yes, Lyle felt the inputs from the 3 blade, but he liked the speed.

Dave was just concerned about the increased possibility of inducing flutter into a control surface. That never seems to end well.
