"Flare - D
Have you actually got much R22 time?"
None at all, mate. Thank the Lord, none at-friggin-all. I hope you don't expect me to be ashamed. But virtually all of my time is in birds powered by turbines (preferably two), the way God intended. In fact, the last piston-popper I flew was in 1982 when I went for my CPL(H) certs.
I worried there that this might be a "R-22 only" thread, but since the principles apply to *all* single-engine helis, I was sure the mighty R-22 chopper pilots couldn't be that elitist.
I used to like the fragile Robbo. But Lu Z (one "n") has convinced me not to even *look* at one ever again, which of course I won't. I will say this: People who fly R-22s are better pilots than me. Or something.
