Sheesh ... one turn of the strop around the skid, and then hold the end?
Great job.
Great job.
That proves it, we have been wasting way too much money on these fancy SAR birds with all their fancy gizmos and hoists- the R-22 is the future for SAR, and perhaps a R-22 with a glock armed crewmember for CSAR 
Props to making do- well done

R44 the good
Some amazing photos and good to see the Robinson getting some positive comments for a change----a good effort by the pilot who put the safety of others before anything else----what his insurance company and the CAA would say is another thing----perhaps that's the sad bit for a guy who did his best for others------!!
