7th flight - 7.9 hours in.. Too fun! by
JIM105
Rule number one. ALWAYS bring your CFI a snack and a drink when you show up.
It's a lot like feeding the animals at the zoo, they still might growl at you,
but they probably won't eat you for dinner.

vortex ring state at any point during an auto?? by
Greg Johnson
It it possible to get into vortex ring state (or settling with power)
during an autorotation?
A friend at my radio control helicopter field claimed that you shouldn't
do a vertical autorotation, because you might enter vortex ring state
if you do.
This doesn't seem right to me based on my limited...

Long Island Crash - Kite String? by
Neb Okla
Witnesses reported seeing kite string wrapped around the heli.
http://news12.com/LI/topstories/article?id=118790
Could that even cause a heli to crash? I'd think that a kite string would
be easily broken... and even if it did wrap around a control area, I'd
think that the helicopter would have...

Trikes vs Fixed Wing U/L vs Gyros by
BARTFIO
Does anyone here have experience in all three of these type a/c? I would like
to know which of the 3 would handle cross winds best and which has a safer
overall
operational record. So far, I've read that the gyro is better with crosswinds
(ref Dr. Taggart) than even some factory fixed wings. I...

Ohhhhhh Micbloo by
Shiver Me Timbers
So are the sounds of rotors keeping you awake this week.
Spotlights lighting up your bedroom at 3 AM.
Subway traffic disrupted for you and the family.
Radio traffic blasting from your scanner's speaker.
Are you feeling a deep rooted urge to vote in the next few months.

I've been looking for a gyroplane ready to fly. I've seen a few

correctly. I've seen one on ebay that's in California and it has a
good description, good pictures and so on, but that's quite a drive to
go see it before bidding. I...

The "Whirl": More Efficient Rotary Craft? by
sanman
Here's something I was reading:
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996380
So beyond the mere claim of being more efficient, why would it actually be so?
The claim of hovering for 4 days is quite a jump, when compared to Global Hawk.
Is this even vaguely realistic?
