Being a plank driver for 20 years before my rotor rating, altitude is a good thing, and it doesn't bother me with doors off or on. However, perch me on a ladder 20 feet up and I'm getting damn uncomfortable. Maybe it's the lack of structure around me? In fact, the video going around the 'net of the guys climbing the 1700 foot tower just plain creeps me out. It starts to make my knees weak. And I'm watching it sitting in my friggin' office chair, quite safe and sound! Well, I'm not a total wimp. I'll still fly a Robbie, given the chance.
