Rumors have it that this feller did a waterbucketing course around here some time ago, where he advocated comming in downwind, flaring downwind, then turn into the wind and depart. He apparently said that he did this all the time, in tight spots... :unsure:

Finally wrote to the editor, I had to rewrite twice to somewhat tame it down to a civilized level...

 

Nothing personnal against Mr. A whom I don't personally know, but perhaps they picked the wrong guy to write this article.

i snagged a copy of the mag from the aerocenter here in saskatoon tonite and finally read it... some very "different" opinions expressed in it... :blink:

 

but what did you all think of his other article about "stirring the cyclic"... any validity to that one?? :mellow:

That statement had me cranked more than anything else. I can't even see the cyclic its going so fast, but rrrreallly I thinnkkkk I fly jjjusst fffffine.

 

Seems a little to arrogent and pompus to me, have seen many pilots who are not the smoothest but are gentle and careful with the aircraft, and have seen hands of gold beating the living shyte out of things, attitude is the key, skill is in the mindset of being professional, hand eye coordination means nothing if the mind isn't involved.

CTD,

I'm just wondering what the 500d would look like if you were on the end of a 75ft line with those fuel drums, in a hover and the popcicle sticks at max pitch?

My guess is that you'd be busy. ( as you well know my 500 time is severly limited)
