The Scout.......we are not ex-mil heroes as you so eloquently put it. We are just very experienced rotory pilots who converted onto the Scout after having flown fixed wing and other helicopters. This was a mandatory qualification before even applying for the conversion. This requirement wasnt because the military wanted high time pilots....it was because they recognized the "bite-back-ability" of the Scout.
So please dont think that FlyGunz and Myself are heroes, we're just trying to inform low time ppl(h) holders that the Scout needs to be flown with the utmost respect.
I was trying to advise DBCHOPPER not to be too blase when flying or even talking about the Scout. It bites
