Another cool flying vid ruined by music :(

[heloaddicted]

@quinndexter suggest a good song, - I might change it. You´ll see, it´s not that easy :-)

@heloaddicted That's the point... you don't need a song. Let the turbine sing.

@foxtrot789

unfortunately the mic was defective, - so no sound recording :-/

I also prefer singing turbines to music :-)

@toospeed31

give it a try :-)

It does not have to be a turbine model, - an R22 will be fine, - you will see :-)

@heloaddicted that is what i am afraid of, i will become so hooked on it like i am with fixed wing aircraft i may never wanna go back.....

[heloaddicted]

@toospeed31

Thank you for apologizing. You should definately take a demo lesson with a helicopter, - even a R22 will do. They are very responsive and flying them is lots of fun! But be aware of the fact that you will definately be hooked and spend lots of money for this "addiction" :-)

Anyways, have fun and if you like let me know how your first ride with touching the controls was!

@heloaddicted i do apologize for my brash statement and i had not intentions of offending you. i for one have never flown a helicopter and think they are very cool and would be a lot of fun to fly. have been around and flown in them many times and i must say they feel so much different than a fixed wing aircraft. i do plan on taking some lessons just to say i have flown one but until then i will just admire from afar... happy landings too you as well

@toospeed31

I felt a little bit offended due to your "stop trying to show off your skills"-statement.

I see your point and I am with you generally. Thank you for your constructive criticism. I appreciate it and in general constructive criticism is appreciated and especially accepted even more when it does not contain a directive manner.

Many happy landings for you

@heloaddicted i have been flying for many years so before you say someone is a non-aviator you should rethink your statements.. at any time you have a passenger with you, the passengers comfort and level of enjoyment is based on your flying skill. if you see they are uncomfortable with a turn then shallow that turn so they are more at ease. the look of not being comfortable or understanding what you are doine speaks louder than any screams or crying from your passenger. stay safe..
