  1. The roof of a chopper is the strong part. Would require a massive force to cause that sort of damage. Nev
  2. It was originally ABLE BAKER CHARLIE DOG. Nev
  3. You are talking to the converted here. Meanwhile, Get on with your life. It's a lot better than GAZA, Ukraine and Sudan. Nev
  4. You shouldn't have much trouble finding a competent pilot to fly the remainder of the 25 Hour s of. It's a shake down, best done somewhere where a problem is easy to cope with. Nev
  5. This is just the beginning. A hurdle to jump. Good luck on your Journey. WHEN you stop learning you become dangerous. Nev
  6. Was it Box ticking exercise? Nev
  7. Part of the Aircraft roof cam away as well. Massive force required to do this. Nev
  8. I'd expect them to be TRENDING down with better equipment but IT's NOT good. Per flying hour on Kms based it wouldn't be near as safe as RPT fixed wing and they don't carry large Numbers of passengers. so don't kill as many per hull loss. . Nev
  9. CASA doesn't insure aircraft or pay for it unless they Operate it. . Nev
  10. These days a 2 litre motor could be Over 200 HP. Fowler flaps increase the wing area when they are extended. That's why they are the Best. Nev
  11. Yeah Everybody knows that stuff. sorry. Nev
  12. .18 is almost .2 which is !/5th of a Km.=s 1000 metres so just under 200 metres 180 is 90% of 200. . Any distance covered / time elapsed is a speed. Speed change/elapsed time is acceleration rate.. Nev
  13. I call that BS. . My title is not factprovider. Nev
  14. There's no one else so you're up that Creek without a paddle. Nev
  15. The plastic one we carried in our pockets buckled with the heat, we were that fast. Nev
  16. Great weight lifting ability for structure and power.. Nev
  17. Much more any time I've checked the figures. They are not as safe as fixed wing partly due to the Nature of their operations but they are maintenance intense. Not one of the US choppers sent to rescue the Hostages in IRAN got there.. Nev
  18. You've been told that before. You're flogging a Dead horse. I don't like it either/ It doesn't even count points towards a Passport being issued. RAAus represents the CASA Only something LIKE AOPA can do anything. . Nev
  19. Safest form of NUCLEAR.. and by far the cheapest. source of Electricity. Nev
  20. You can bet your bottom Dollar you'll lose the Blues in CHICAGO. Nev
  21. Yeah, USA HAD some good things. Nev
  22. They were supposed to keep it simpler than GA. MARAP seems like a Crock of it. Nev
  23. Short trips like that will Kill it pretty quick. rego and insurance is high for that amount of usage. Good luck. Nev
  24. Most people wouldn't get the significance of the tailplane damage. Pretty (hairy) show all-round . Nev
  25. I use GPS based indications. Tire diameter affects indic. speed also. Nev
