Thanks for your support guys...
I was feeling pretty shy about speaking 'in public'. PPrune is FAB people's true viwes protected by anonimity.
Ageed .. yup boring now. Enough!
Flown properly most small ones (from Brantly to AS350). Learnt in H300,H500,Allouette.
Been a spare dick in S76,Dauphin,Puma,Augusta,Mil2and8,Kamov(luvly)etc.
Been 'around' a bit also....
Strong science background...
Just about managed to get a license for aeroplanes (but much harder than helis) and done a bit of that, though not very well...
And type arguments are mostly daft.... All helicopters are the best at some basket of criteria. (eg. B206 is a better 5 seater than an R44, and you can burn some pretty exotic fuels if you have to - could be vital)
It just gets difficult when someone decides they don't like something but they haven't got their reasons right yet.
I hate it when you can't say something you know (factually) to be the case because its not the 'official line'.
Pleased to be here..
