Wow, sounds like such a great day! Congrats Kevin! :-) Isn't it wonderful when everything comes together? Ok, so you had a sloppy one. The important part is that you reacted properly and didn't bend the bird. It's all part of the learning experience. Question: Maybe I'm reading you too...

Kev, Just be glad you're not flying with an outfit in Riverside who wont fly in the rain. I was on my way to the flight school, an 1 hr and 45 min drive from my home in Idyllwild, and it had been drizzling all morning long. As I was turning in to the drive at the flight school my cell phone rings...

Hey Kevin, Sounds like a great day. I'm assuming that Caltrans (or actually the California Dept. of Aeronautics) came out and checked out the LZ prior to the 500 landing in the school? The state has a regulation prohibiting aircraft landing within 1000 feet of a public or private school that has...

I did my aptitude tests and exams at my local flying college the other day, a pre-requisite along with an interview before they allow you to join any of their courses. Scored 85% in maths, 77% in physics (I'd long forgotten some of the theorems and equations that would've been helpful) and I got...

I saw a CH-53 the other day in Yuma, AZ, the next day I saw a Chinook in San Diego. Those are some BIG helicopters. Even bigger than I would have thought. (And trust me, I've thought.) ref ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet...

Hi to you all, I did my first full down autorotation yesterday however it was not my intention. It was not so bad afterall. I was busy doing my renewal on a R22 Beta 2 We did a few auto's with the instructor cutting the throttle and me doing the auto. The instructor added throttle everytime after...

Hi There, Any Idea where can a person find real geographical data to down load and use with the Microsoft flight sim 2004? Ezra

Kevin's first solo made me think of my first solo in the heli back in 1997 I have been flying fix wing aircraft since 1980 and to go solo was not unknown to me. I was doing training on an Enstrom at the time and was doing quite well at the time. All the instruction was done by one instructor so...

Hi Kevin, Great write up as usual! You've been talking about hoping to go solo in the past couple of posts you've made. I'd say you're almost there. This one sounds like the classic "backslide" in skill level right before everything comes together. Don't let it get you down! Also, you may not...

Looking for Hiller UH-12B parts anybody got a good contact or know of someone parting one out.

Hi, Is there anyone out there who can recommend any UK integrated JAR CPL(H) courses? I've checked out Cabair and the only other school set-up I know of is Oxford Aviation Training who I've yet to check out in person. Currently my options are to jump in with both feet, sell up and do a year...

Sean do you see the original post that I (Shiver Me Timbers) made regarding the Canadian Governments recent purchase of Sikorsky S-92 helicopters or do you only see the TROLL ALERT message being made by Dennis Hawkins.

Hey any of you oldtimers know which will give me a faster cruise, forward or aft cg? TIA, Bart

.... and I still can't stop smiling :-)) Flying helicopter is soo different from an airplane, it really felt like flying magic carpet :-) And it's so nice to watch grass waves around :-) In airplane you get from ground so fast it's hard to notice how nice view you can have from so low...

The link http://www.SynchroLite.com/1377.html is to a web page that describes a new style of rotorhub. This hub should offer significant flight-control and aerodynamic advantages over existing rotorhubs. In addition, it will be very inexpensive to build. It should be of special interest to those...
