Wow...didn't think I would get this much of a reaction but here's my reply. And for those who are talking about "trolling"...I've actually had a life to get on with instead of checking pprune all the time for replies! For a specific reply I have arranged them in order of when the person posted me a reply...so find your name and read.
Anyway....
Epiphany: I would have applied for the armed forces but I don't have 20/20 vision so I wouldn't pass the medical, so I didn't ever bother applying.
Camp Freddie: Old bean, makes you sound rather cute
But anyway, I've got a few other things to spend money on at the moment, but when my money is more expendable then I shall do that, but I must congratulate you on such a fine idea...it's a shame you didn't use your brain before posting and maybe you'd have thought of something like my answer.
Whirlygig: Unless the instructor controlled the aircraft with his thoughts alone then I see it fit to say I done all the flying as he wasn't covering the controls, his hands were fairly near the first time, a couple of inches, but the second time his hands were resting on his lap...and I was also highly amused at a scratch of you know what
Also...I've only seen pictures of the inside of a robinson and assumed that due to the way the controls are laid out, that it operates differently. Also, with regards to me going to RAF Kenley, that's on OK distance. The reason I said Blackbushe is because I'd be unable to go to very large distances, more than 2 hours away, such as Scotland.
SASless: Maybe holding the wings level in a light breeze did help. But it is annoying when somebody breaks the winch and we have to have a cup of tea and biscuits...horrible I tell you!
ShyTorque: Fair point. How did Silverstone go? Hope you got a go in an F1 car, they look like such a blast.
Whirlwind: I think you could back me up more than anybody. The guy I flew with was also CFS(H) from Shawbury, so with proper and decent instruction it's more than possible for people like me to learn it quickly.
Um... lifting...: My ego's small enough to fit into a glider so I'm sure it'll fit into any chopper, but thank you for your concerns.
Trans Lift: Surely if your student got it all in 5 mins then it must be easy? :P But I've love to have several trial lessons or even go all the way for a PPL, but it's just money at the moment, but it is on my lovely list of things to do.
Heli-Phile: Well if I owned a house then I would remortgage it...but as I rent I can't do that. My mother's kind of disabled and live's in a council house so I can't mortgage hers either. The only reason I said I didn't want to go to far was just in case I get people from scotland or even other countries offering me...lets face it, that's a bit far so I thought I'd say Blackbushe so people knew where I was.
Canuck Guy: lmfao Yes, real funny, anyway... Have you thought about the fact that money doesn't grow on trees?...or are tree's different in canada? But if you're offering to polish my
boots then please do. Also with regards to my car, it's MOT is due next week. It only gets cleaned once a year so again, very much appreciated. last but not least...keep the sarcasm coming, it makes me hard, so hard I'm close to coming...muppet!
Hughesy: Now now, don't brag about me to much
Jeepys: Well well well...somebody is extremely sensitive about parting with many thousands of pounds of hard earned cash just for somebody to say its easy. If you were any more touchy I think you'd either die or cum, depending on the circumstances of course. But I'll tell you this...flying a glider and doing a circuit is easy...pitch, roll, yaw! However...being able to soar and stay up for an hour isn't easy, but clearly you think you could do that then with no previous experience?...I'd love to see that too
If anyone is interested in a few return glider flights then I'd be more than happy to do it, provided my CO didn't have a problem with it.
Helimutt: I prefer to call myself a fanny...you know, you are what you eat and all. Going by your reply I smell the distinct smell of s***, looking at your post, it wasn't hard to see why.
airbourne artist: Perhaps if you didn't spend so much time posting on here you might be able to come up with better sarcasm
Kelly Hopper: F1 drivers are paid so much money because they are so much better than you at driving...simple really. Out of curiosity, do you know how many F1 drivers there are compared to how many chopper pilots there are? Money boils down to statistics...less F1 drivers = big money.....thousands of chopper pilots = good money but nowhere near as much as highly sought after F1 drivers.
enq: That actually was funny and I mean that. I've had so many spam e-mails like that, it's nice to see someone with a sense of humour on here!
Dragman: I wouldn't say I'm a legend, seriously, lots of other people have done it! And sometimes holding your bladder isn't nice...slightly off topic, I once took a smoothie up with me, needless to say with so much fruit I was finding my ass a struggle to hold!
Heliringer: If I do then I will video it. But if I don't get an offer on here then you'll just have to wait until next summer for a trial lesson video. But on a serious note it's not a wind up...im sure if you searched the net you could find a little info about the course I done it on.
Blue Rotor Ronin: There we go...I think the first part of your post speaks volumes. Just to many people who don't like to accept flying comes more naturally to other people all because they had to pay for their licence and feel they have to protect it.
Biggles99: Thank you very much for the offer. Feel free to PM me details about contacting you and stuff and let me know what you'd like in return for your troubles. I don't think badly of all helicopter pilots at all.
CDP200: Right, I'll explain myself. I do think the pilot of this chopper is very skilled indeed. However, some tard said that his skill helped him walk away from the accident. My argument was skill had nothing to do with it, just a coinsidence he wasn't 20 feet lower! 20 feet higher and he wouldn't have crashed in the first place. That's how the arguments started.
Senior Pilot: You ever heard of the term "sad c***"? I didn't even know there was a name for people who joined sites, posted once and then left. And to be honest, I didn't want to join pprune...but if you didn't already know, you kind of have to join before you can post things. But just so you know...I've had more important things to do than come on here at the earliest opportunity, hence why I've only posted now and it's a big reply to everyone. But thank you for being so observant at my activities.
Well...that's my reply over and done with. If I get more spare time then I shall check up on this thread and see how it's going. But thank you all for your comments and I hope my reply clears a few things up.
Adam.
