Rich,
After reading the reply above, I will go back and study the death snail with a renewed interest. The points you make above have considerable relevance to the discussion…..as I am sure, in hindsight, the death snail did too.
I too would like to sow my ‘flower’ seeds with a useable penis. Risk assessment is the way we can guarantee a good crop. Hopefully others will be able to nibble on my fruits (bountiful as of course they are)
CJ,
I must admit that I am interested to hear what you gain by hovering at 15 feet? As I understand it, the original hover height for the R22 was increased due to potential ground contact in the training environment when students got the inevitable wobbles learning to hover. Can we assume you can now hover?
You will also probably find that 90% if not more (my numbers) of the dynamic rollover accidents occurred at lift off as apposed to hover taxiing. Not saying it doesn’t happen, just that the risks of catching a skid are far greater while still on the ground………and not at double the Robinson recommended hover height or below.
Stand your ground CJ, you have probably heard this all before…………
