Safety Course was well worth while, Who is LU?
I am not new to the forum as I have lurked for a while.
I would recommend the Robinson Safety Course to anyone that has the time and money to go to Torrance. The factory tour shows you not only how they are made but the great care that goes in to making them.
I am not a devout Robinson follower and have flown other makes and models but it is hard to beat the Robinson product for what it is signed to do. Frank Robinson has brought helicopter ownership to many individuals and organizations that could not other wise afford a light turbine machine.
Speaking of design, Who is LU? Not a pilot but he says he has been associated with helicopter for 20-30 years. I have been associated with the local hospital for about the same amount of time but that does not make me a Doctor. In a past professional career, I also built and rebuilt hospitals but they still do not call me Doctor either.
Yes, I do fly a Robinson as a police pilot and I do fly it out of trim, LOTS. They are great machines but admit ably not perfect.
