It might have just appeared to be hovering?  but you were actually flying in a 3 knot wind.... never mind

If I sale it, it will be for a good cause. if I don't, I'll continue to enjoy it more than any of you can possibly imagine. Weather is clearing here for a change, may be time to test the new gimbal in the next few days, Maybe Saturday!! My helicopter pad is like stepping on SpongeBob right now. |

Just in case you fly something that has one!

John- I just now was able to see the video you posted of me flying your MH-1 at Mentone. My cellphone wont show videos here....but by the comments posted....I thought I better get on the computer and verify what I suspected.. What a cheap shot you through at me...and several thanked you for it. I have never told anyone that it was bogging down...because you said you were going to gear it different....which you did later. That would have been a cheap shot at you....but now its like I wasn't adding throttle.....I had it pegged ....and it kept bogging down. It just plain and simple would not haul my ass.....but I didn't think a thing about it as you weren't satisfied with it and were going to gear it down to get the engine in its power band better. You told me it has a lot more power now.....and I am sure would get me out of ground effect now.......but not that hot day with the lower revving engine. Lets tell the whole story! |

We found a crack in your foundation Helli and I guarantee a million squirrels are going to run in and tell you it is payback time I liked that video of you trying to hover Johns machine .... but mostly I liked how much he enjoyed it ... and so did I ... we smile with understanding .... because you are one of those limp noodles who only flies governed R22's and governed Helicycles. One of these days you will be a real helicopter pilot. Real helicopter pilots will lower collective and twist throttle when the engine groans trying to lift a guy who has eaten 41 squirrels .... and believe it or not that helicopter will go up when you lower collective. It took me 9 years to find a crack in your foundation and I AM IN NOW !!! .... just like a parasite. Get used to it  .

Stan did good on that video. For what you have there seems to run a little weak for your weight. |

Gabor- I never said a word about it back then ..not even joking....as in my mind that would not have been fair to John. He simply was still testing it out ....and he just wasn't done with getting full power out of it. Of course I never will be a real helicopter pilot....never claimed to be nothing but a fledgling pilot. |

I really wished Stan could have taken my Commuter up at Mentone, trailered it all the way there and due to it being out of inspection by one day, people there told Stan not to hover it as word was some jack ass was going to report it to the FAA. The reason it was out of inspection by 1 day was I had already talked to Mike milton about doing the Inspection the day I got there, but he got there later in the week. I did get it inspected right before we went home with it. needless to say this left another sour taste in my mouth for the PRA convention at mentone. that was a long way to tow a helicopter and just see it sit. it did make me happy when one old timer came up and commented, wow a real Helicom Commuter. |

Stan, I posted this video for fun and not to piss you off. I thought we were better than that. You knew the real story, and I knew the real story, That's why I let you and Todd give it a try. Believe it or not it was a test, and the test failed. If everyone cant fly it than it not worth a shit. Todd's results were the same as yours. Which means it was broken. After fixing what we already knew, now it's a game changer and will tote your big butt on a 100 plus day. With that being said I could also tell most of your training was with helicopters with governors and so was mine. I got lucky and left sky helicopters and finished my training in a Bell 47 and had to be trained all over again to manage throttle as well as everything else. When I trained at Sky in the R22s they wouldn't let us fly throttle, so I never got the chance to know any different. Here's Todd's Video of his try at Mentone.. |

I don't know why anybody would fault Stan or anyone taking the controls (throttle management is another story ) of the MH1...its a hand full! I have 80+ hrs in the 269 and feel very comfortable now with throttle control. So much so that I have to tell myself not to twist throttle when in the OH-6, Huey etc. for the first few minutes. After that its so nice not having that work load to deal with...almost makes me feel lazy
