Just got my Baby Belle out of its condition inspection, and had a couple of hours on it doing tracking and balancing and general hover practice when the local airfield had a special on fuel: Normally $4.60/ gal was $3.60 for the day. I lit her off and half way there the MR chip lite came on...

Just back from Bensen days and Sun'n Fun. I flew (hover taxiied) a 254# legal ultralite helicopter. I was amazed at the lack of any tendency to depart to a foreign zip code. The little Mosquito Air felt more stable to me than a Bell 47. At Sun'n Fun John Snider demonstrated several autos to...
