treetopflyer Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hey guys, I think i've been doing it wrong all along. I've been using that hard to reach spot in the middle of the belly for attaching my external loads. I usually don't carry pax when slinging but maybe it's different if you use the toes of the skids versus the hook thingy. This is a police operation with two loads of marijuana on the Big Island in Hawaii. Fly safe, ttf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidz Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 When's the last time you saw a cop observing speed limits on the highway ? Why would they observe CARs ? I have a bad feeling helicopper's gonna jump all over this one... :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidz Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Last year there was a report on tv about a big pot bust near Mont-Laurier by the SQuids. There was a shot of a 206 with pax onboard and "bundles of joy" strapped to the skids (not hung). As the a/c flew past the camera, you could see bits and pieces of hemp falling to the ground. I wonder if after they cut the camera they spent some time picking up these "gifts from the heavens"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 At least 206 gear is a little more rigid that the angry egg. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet B Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Just think... With that kind of forward C of G, you couldn't help but to fly really really fast... :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaJR Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 That's as bad as that Jetbox trying to tow a boat; using a rope from the cockpit, outside the skid gear to the boat. Predictable results. Happened fast too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
