OK Bob you got me on one. Whats with never grabbing the tail rotor shaft

MR.

Me too. That's how I stop the mains when I fly the C300... Learned
from my CFII when i asked "Does this thing have a rotor brake?" He
said, "Follow me." then hopped out and grabbed the shaft.. "This is
it right here.."


That's how our boss lost his middle finger :-(
