[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3501506, member: 745"] When in a hover, you are basically in a torus of air - sort of like a doughnut, or a smoke ring. Diving out of it - the torus - or flying off puts the chopper in "clean" air which restores efficiency. It takes considerable less power to fly than it does to hover because once the torus gets to spinning (smoke-ringing) the chopper is not only holding itself up but holding itself up within the downdraft of the torus.
