Well spotted! - Synonymous with the training wheels I had on my bike ('til last year, got a sidecar for xmas and now it can only fall over one way!)

Keep 'em coming...I'm enjoying the ingenuity that goes into these replies!

Anyone that wants to be put out of their misery (!) need only visit helicopterpilotsguide.com and go to the section on 'Unusual products/services' to get chapter and verse.

The info will be posted soon but don't want to spoil the fun!

Maybe the functional equivalent of a fixed-wing yaw damper? It sure looks like it would help me hold an R22 nose straighter

It's a R22 working out with the equivalent of bumdbells, trying to become a R44.

Very Best use for the R22

The perfect use for the R22, and no I don't mean mountain flying by top models!

Picture #1: Hey, Missus, Don't lean back on the helicopter! Oh drat, too late, it's gone - anyone got a rope?

Actually, I thought this thread was going to be a bit like that book called: "101 uses for a Dead Cat" ......

Top model finds R-22 suppository 'somewhat unwieldy'.

Robbo Jock,

Feel free to keep spreading these rumours. I don't mind everyone thinking I look like that.

The best use for an R22 is clearly on display at Blackbushe airport in Hampshire - it's a gate guard!

Before anyone asks. Yes, I have flown in a couple of these machines, yes I know it is probably soley responsible for the civil market being as busy & buoyant as it has been over the last 23 years in the UK (albeit with a few peaks & troughs!), but you won't catch me in another one - ever!
