[R-390] Cosmos Dis-assembly

[Barry Williams]

A good friend's dad flew the first production Huey to Alabama from the 
Corpus Cristi plant. I think it was a YH-1 at the time. It had no 
governor and you used manual throttle all the time. He laughed at me 
when he told the story because he knew that meant "land as soon as 
possible". He said he would get several compressor stalls hovering out 
to takeoff until he learned the max throttle setting for that day. He 
said it was normal to have a dozen each flight.
