skullcap Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Try using a rolled up towel for lumbar. I used to use a obus form infront of the existing seat cushion, is then just some baggage,,,,not sure though? But is was nice on the back. Am 6'2" and was abit tight but ok. Quote
Cole Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Posted January 29, 2008 So I looked into it a bit further, you can put whatever sort of extra padding you want on top of the stock seats so long as they maintain the capability to crush to absorb impact. Quote

Phil Croucher Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Cole - not that I'm suggesting you should do this as a matter of routine, but if you are ever stuck in the field with a dead N1 gauge and you simply have to get it started, when the blades start moving just on battery power is about 15%. 58% N1 is about 25% Rotor RPM. phil Without prejudice.

bkstabr Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Good point on the no guage start method. I forgot to tell you that since I started useing the force and keeping my eyes closed for the start I haven't had a overtemp. Also the customer seems much happpier since I began using the force for over gross weight loads also. PS How can you tell the weather sucks looking forward to some replies.. Quote
matt_as350 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Congrats cole, best of luck to you. Quote
Cole Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Ahh I was wondering if you got my text message there Matt. After waiting on weather over night I had the window to fly 1.4 hours with the examiner. With that, this morning I passed my Commercial Helicopter Pilot Flight test. I was actually really impressed with the low level of stress that came with this test, my private aeroplane flight test had me shakin in my boots, but this one felt just fine. I can actually hear the other student making his last radio call on his way back to the hangar on his flight test as I type. Thanks Matt. 12 hours to go! Back to the job hunt! Cole Quote
Skids Up Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Way to go Cole, another big step behind you... :up: :up: Quote
