Which one? ;-) I'm sure he'll tell you about it!

hehe, I don't know if the "real" job can be considered a "career" at
this point. Frankly, I'll be surprised if this place is around by the
end of the year...

As for flying, I've got my nose back in the books working on
"remembering" all the basics in anticipation of getting back to
working on my instructor ticket. Ran into a guy I started training
with years ago who's chief instructor for a local school now. I'm
going to start flying with him in another couple weeks (He just got
back from his honeymoon) and HOPEFULLY (translation: if money lasts)
finish up this summer.

Best of luck with your Helicycle and in the mean time, Fly Safe!

Yep, same here. Wish I could swing one.. In the meantime, I'm making
do with one of these:

Good Lord, Kevin, for thew price of that RC you could by a part share
in a real R44!

Oh yeah, they're crazy expensive but they're also totally cool! That
company is currently working on a smaller version that's a "little" more
price friendly but still well above the "oh sh**" factor in price. I'd love
to get one too but that'll be a "long" way down the road, if it happens at
all! We'll see!

Fly Safe Everyone!

You gotta get your priorities straight Steve. Bills, mortgage, food
on the table, car insurance etc... Waste of money. Buy a turbine
heli.


Which is exactly why I said it would be a long way down the road, if at all!
Right now I'm in full lust mode for one and I have finally gotten to the
point in my life where I try "real" hard not to purchase anything when I'm
feeling that way. By the time I've got the money saved up, I may well be
over the infatuation and not care. I've had one or two times in my life
when I had more fun dreaming about the toy than actually having it so I'll
bide me time on this one. If I still really want it by the time I've got
most of the money, that's fine. If not, I'll have a nice little purse to
add to my permanent savings and that would be just fine too! :-)

Best of luck with you're, Kevin!

Fly Safe, both full size and RC!
