After 20 years of plank flight, I had to get rotor-rated because I wanted to see if I could handle the challenge that I had always heard about helis. It took much time and money and was more than worth it. Although I'm still a low-time private pilot, helis fascinate me to no end. I've learned and laughed with many here, but none more than Nick.
From a selfish standpoint, I hope Nick still has time for my favorite forum. I'm am greatly looking forward to new rumors of new technology. Even though I can't fly the slick toys, I get to in my mind by reading your posts. Hurry and get on with it, already!! Congrats to Nick and Bell.
