I have not flown the KMAX but I spent some time at the Kaman assembly plant and got to see a KMAX fly.
It is eerie how slow the blades rotate...but it will lift your house 
It is based on the Kaman Huskie, which had wooden rotor blades.
I have about 50 hours in the Kaman H-2 Sea Sprite. The main rotor controls go up through the main rotor mast then out to what is called a "flapperon". Weird but it works.
