I currently fly a Safari and have never had the flicker problem that I had
in the Brantly. I do wear a helmet with a visor.. I thought I knew most of the Safari owners. Your moniker and e-mail aren't familiar... What happened to your Safari?? Stu Fields "Murphy's law" wrote in message om... "Stu & Kathy Fields" wrote in message ... One thing I noticed in the Brantly was that the rotor positioned so close to the bubble could and did cause a very annoying flicker with the sun at the right angle. A hat with a bill would be a must. I agree with on poster the Brantly I flew was relatively smooth. I don't think that they made the prettiest helo tho..More like a horizontal ice cream cone. I remember a story Ken Brock told me about running out of power with a passenger at a density altitude of about 3,500 but he was on a pinnacle and didn't have all the ground effect he would have liked.. For my money, if I was located at a place where the density altitude rarely got above 4,000, I would consider the Brantly because it was so easy to fly. In any bubble type plexi cabin a some kind of sunvisor is a must to block sunglare I had a Rotorway Exec 90, a Safari, have an R22, a Brantly B2, so I know the difference The Brantly is kid'a funny looking, but the beauty is in the eye of the beholder As the matter of fact, the cone shaped fuselage is an airstream stabilizer The flying characteristics must be the main concern in any aircraft Stu Fields Safari Driver.

I agree with you about watching the tip path, being careful, approaching from the right place,etc. however to untrained passengers I could see where this could be a problem, thats all. Dave davdirect The PIC is always responsible for the safety of passengers & the safe operation of the rotorcraft. Placard in Brantly : ROTOR MUST BE STOPPED WHILE LOADING AND UNLOADING PASSENGERS Even so tip path plane is over 6 feet high, that's all folks |
