Son, I had 20 years in this outfit when your idea of a good time was sitting in front of the television, watching bugs bunny, and gnawing on your fudgesickle.


I remember the days before the pedal stop actuator well.  If you think limiting the tail rotor travel in cruise would help prevent low speed main rotor to tailboom contact in 407s, then I think you should call Bell and share your wisdom for all of our sakes.
