Hi VF
getting off the Mountain, cloud surfing searching for holes not fun
Wow mate, you are living on the dangerous side, and some the heights shown in your pictures, I really take my hat off to you
Fly safe

Hmmmmm up here so close to satellites orbiting, if we wait for all nice & easy conditions, then we would fly maybe 20days a year & a lot more people would die........ a lot more.
It's a balance between weighing up manageable risks to save lives
Happy landings 🚁🚁🚁

Flying with your knees? I (4000 hours on fixed wing) have only once tried to fly a helicopter and found it almost impossible using my hands.

Flying with the knees is a common thing when folding a map, taking photos or rolling a cigarette

Perhaps not so commonly performed when flying through a turbulent Himalayan mountain pass at 18,000' :-D

Good morning fellow Rotorheads
I was trained by 'Buck Ryan' & he made me fly with my knees, left hand, even body weight shifting. It's not so hard once You get used to it
gives more options & choices as to how to manage self & cockpit.
Thanks for the positive feedback
greatly appreciated
Cheers
