Yeah, how do they control issues like Retreating Blade Stall? Where are the Anti-Torque pedals? Can I have a Collective please?

I need to get MS Flight Simulator up and running again, I miss buzzing around in my helicopter (I also have an ETA-2 Interceptor model and the Millennium Falcon)

HOW DO CYLINDRICAL ENERGY BLADES CREATE LIFT

Yes cylinders don't have a Chord profile shape to create the difference in air pressure above and below the blade/rotor disk to produce lift (I think I got that right - also the collective alters the pitch of the blade to create AoA)

Aye, bout sums it up.

Aye, bout sums it up.

That's a relief, I am a self taught helicopter simulator pilot and tried reading up on all the theory to make my simming more realistic.
I actually landed a Sikorsky (S-61) Sea King on an aircraft carrier in a Royal Navy simulator and surprised all the Instructors once.

Anyhoo, back to action figures...

Yea the Spinning I had no issue with...its kind of like Grevious.  Even the idea that their "kitsch" was throwing it using the force and basically creating a spinning death trap.   Fun Fact: In the comics it is Vader who trains the Inquisitors and each one of them has at least one Cybernetic limb because of it.

Again...had that not been a lightsaber and instead had been a Chakram (like Xena) that they used the Force to manipulate...would have been better.  Like they all carried normal saber but a throwing weapon was their calling card.   I do like how Maul seeming ripped the ring off of the one he took.

1) They're dark Force users. There's pretty much always something around that can be thrown.
2) My major gripe with this one was that the dipshell pulls this POS to threaten the removal of a hand........YOU HAVE A DAMN ENERGY BLADE CAPABLE OF CUTTING 99% OF THE UNIVERSE IN HALF. WHY DO YOU NEED A BUZZSAW?

DIE

Do it. Save me from my gym appointment.

And let's not forget this abomination:

if I'm being honest though, when it comes to a spinning weapon, that is about as close as they can get without actually spinning the lightsaber itself. and when I think about it, if that had been the only part that spun, and the blades remained static, I think I would have liked that weapon.

I think I could agree with that. I just can't get past the superfluous existence of the saw.

1.) true..but same could be said of a Lightsaber.  Jedi and Sith are surrounded by weapons and they themselves are a weapon.  Yes a Saber can block laser blasts...but a Force User can simply side step and pull the blaster out of their hand.  In the old EU there were multiple examples of Force Users eschewing the Lightsaber all together.  Yes they can throw anything...but anything isn't a sharpened piece of steel that you can send hurtling around a room taking off body parts.  Its fun.

2.) Yes...but a Saber is quick and cauterizes the wound as well as burning the nerve endings.  where as a spinning saw blade is going to rip (especially if you do it slow) and be very messy and painful.  In the words of The Sheriff of Nottingham .... ".....it will hurt more."

I can concede both of these points. But I still argue the high probability that these were not considered in development.
