Brave man flying the 'aeroplane banner' style banners!!! You should seriously consider what you are getting yourself into after the Long Beach incident a year or so ago!! I'm not suprised it is difficult to land, they are called aeroplane banners as they are designed for aeroplanes or non-tail rotor aircraft. Aeroplane banners flying up into the tail rotor is never a good idea.
To conclude....'aeroplane banners' designed for aeroplanes, used by aeroplane people. Aeroplane people should not be teaching or training helicopter people to fly them. Have you ever considered what would happen to the un-weighted banner if you had to enter an auto. Have the aeroplane people selling you these banners ever run through or tested that scenario??
Just looking out for Helicopter people...and thought i'd have my five pence worth.
These people seem to know what they are doing and also are run by helicopter specialists.
