roger that

roger the roger

Roger all the rogering.

Madly started saving for the journey again

I think this is all a joke that I'm not familiar with.

I will be sure to check the seatbelt then and apparently not hold on to the bar in the centre of the chopper I believe? haha.

Yeah, don't hold that unless you want to crash/know how to fly it. It's the collective control which basically means it bit that makes the aircraft go up and down by changing the pitch of the main rotor blades. Also does a bit of throttle work for various physics principals.

And the rogering is a pay out on Jim. You had to be there.

Wilbur your starting to sound like one of those "fly boys" allready

Wish I had some spare cash so I could be a fly boy

Well, I don't have much spare cash, but I'm going for my first hands on flight tomorrow. Look out world !!

hands on? wilbur your not supposed to break into the cockpit!! you seat is down the back of the plane sir!!

Little purple chopper like Jims....there is no back

Make sure you get some photos to show us.

PURPLE is your color bur, its matches your eyes, lol good luck!!

So I managed not to crash the chopper, although mr instructor had to save us a couple of times after he decided he would let me try and hover about 5 foot of the ground. Who'd have though if you twitch at the wrong moment your off in another direction bwwwahahahahaa. I'm hooked. Just need to make some money to pay for it. In the mean time I think I will start my theory.
Sorry to all the pic requests, my hands were a little full. This is the bird, but not me in the pic

Where did you do it?

Becker Helicopters at Maroochydore. Plenty of cheaper places if you wanted to just have a go.

oh so jealous:mrgreen:, never been in a chopper, so instructor let you at the collective on introductory lesson, so cool!
On my cessna intro flight the instructor let me land it,and I was hooked, so cool, i think he only did some minor trim adjustment over mine - I must be a natural eh! FlightSim does indeed help with the basics and knowledge, but the real world perspective is just fabulous:p

Yep got all the controls after a demo and feal of what each does. I'd reccomend doing it, even if you have no desire to pursue it any further.

I so want to make this trip to meet up again with you lot and those that I havnt met before

Mike.

It is worth the drive Mike just to see the cars not to mention the bikes. You'd go crazy with all those 2 wheelers around.
