Hey G33,
Thank you for your input, I posted the question that started this thread due to seeing something that I wasn't sure was totally covered by strength items,
The answers including yours have been very revealing to people such as me, However I do feel that your postings and questions/statement are becoming a little harsh especially to the the answers and statements that have come from Nick Lappos, a lot of us none pro Heli pilots learn an awful lot from reading and taking part in this Rotorhead forum, and I for one feel honoured to be allowed to write/partake and get involved with such hallowed individuals and professional pilots.
As far as I can see Nick Lappos is not responsible for setting down the standards for bird strike strengths, he as far as I can see is merely reporting the answers as he see's them to the questions posted on this thread, if your not happy with them, then two options,
Stop flying, or avoid all bird life, let the thread develop without the venom!
