Game work

Just a comment on using Enstroms for round -up. We had our FX on a game counting/capture/darting contract in south africa for 2 yrs. The guys loved it. Some of the flying was up at 6000' with 30 deg c days.

As an airline pilot that now owns and instructs, only prob with an Enstrom is that it needs to go on a diet. Darn thing is way over designed. Make it lighter, it will go faster and use less fuel, hence more range.

Oh yeah, Johannesburg is 5500 amsl and 30 deg in the summer. Should see them R22's fall out the sky.
