I was always worried about LTE in flying in high winds but I now know those R22's can really take it. It's the pilots that can't. . .
The sideways limitation is walking pace I believe but that's in case the engine fails isn't it?. But don't say what if the engine fails because I know he could have landed it safely.
He chopped the throttle on me once climbing away from the field at 60 kts 150ft. Before I knew what was happening the RRPM was at 80%
and he said, 'too late' threw it into a 180 and did a perfect engine off back inside the airfield boundary!! Some people say he's crazy others know he's really that good!! Well he has been flying since he was 4 yrs old.
But anyway this has turned into a Q thread. . . I think it's a shame Jennifer didn't make it but at least this was a 'real' record attempt for a grandmother (ie without Q's magic touch).
Have a good Christmas
