Think you can fly a helicopter?

[red750]

CAREFUL, THIS CAN BECOME AS ADDICTIVE AS FROGGER OR PACMAN

 

 

 

You must hold the left mouse

 

button down to go up...release

 

to go down...MOST DIFFICULT

 

Some people have worn their

 

finger out on this. If you are

 

working for a living, do not

 

forward to your co-workers..

 

The rest of the day will be

 

useless to the company..

The " helo" thing is no big deal, have had numerous goes. ( lift off,hover, fly, land )

 

The " skills " any here would pickup easily. It's that.....or I'm a " natural "

 

But seriously tho.....it's no big deal getting the basics of flying one. Perhaps the schools promote the " idea" to achieve $500 + per hr training.

 

Now the fight begins.......

I'm sure you will improve with time, but it's just another time waster. I got motorbikes to get ready for tomorrow. It's going to be a bit too warm I reckon. Nev

My wife did a TIF in a helicopter and reckons it's dead easy. Just think of where you want to go and it goes there. This is the same wife who tells me to stop stuffing about with all the preflight checks and just get in and fly.

Insure your wife for a lot of money and fly with someone elses wife. You will live a richer longer life.Nev

Or better still. . . . TRADE HER IN for a more useful model ? ? ?

 

 

But yes Peter,. . .Helicopters are dead easy to fly,. . . .only took an experienced aviator like me around 200 hours to learn to hover,. . then the rest was easy. Learning all about "Translational Lift" ( or was it transitional ?. . . . .) and next time,. . the instructor says he might even put the dual controls in if I show any promise. . .
