The Robinson Helicopter Company has just released a new symmetrical horizontal stabilizer aka empennage for the R44 (FAA approved, EASA approval pending as of February 2024). The R44's new stabilizer is designed to reduce the potentially dangerous rightrolling tendency that occurs when the helicopter encounters a lowG flight condition. In this video, I join Robinson's experimental test pilot, Chris Smith, to discuss the design, price, and development process that led to the R44's updated empennage. I also take the controls to review how the R44's new stabilizer feels in flight for an average pilot. #micahflies
