Was watching a video of a Kmax logging.  Is there always a lot of cyclic / rotor feedback inflight.  My right arm would have been jello after 8 hrs.   I was in a H43 Kaman years ago and almost jumped out on start-up because I thought we were going into ground resonance !!  I was in the left seat not the right and I don't recall seeing that much Cyclic Shake but I had my eyes closed most ot the time.

It looks bad on video but you don’t really notice it when you fly. You don’t notice it with all the other weird stuff the kmax does.

Thanks for the replies.  I guess I've been spoiled.  I Checked a guy out in a Bell 47 D with wood blades and I thought it was bad but it wasn't like a Kamax !
