Big H,
can you give us some technical requirements for the photo regarding the quality you need, etc., e.g. what resolution camera?
I've got loads from the camera on my phone, but I think 1.3 megapixel might be a bit rough-cut for what you need....
Cheers

These guy´s are not an uncommon sight where I fly.
As a matter of fact a high power riffle is a part of the helicopter´s standard equipment. Never known anyone that had to use it though

came across this rotorway with a gas turbine engine, it's the first in the southern hemisphere i'm told.
great installation of the engine that also gives you a tail rotor drive shaft instead of the usual elastic band drive.

Flew to the Outer Banks in North Carolina this past week in my Brantly B2B. Following are a few of the pictures I took during the trip.
On the way there, landed in a field to let a thunderstorm pass by, in Maryland.
In North Carolina heading to, and then at the Outer Banks.
Here's where it all started. Wright Brothers Monument and First Flight airport.
A few of the mountain ranges in Virginia that I flew over.

When not running, the blades are only a few inches above the bubble. As they spin up, they also lift up, maybe 9" or so above the bubble. When flying, there's no concern (after getting used to them) about the blades hitting the bubble, and you do not have to fly it any differently than those with the blades much higher. They actually offer more stability in hover work, as there is less pendulum effect. However, I'd still prefer higher blades. I've knocked my head on these many times during pre-flights.

Flylow,
Never been up to a Brantly before in the flesh. Are there rotor managment problems? given that they are so close to the bubble, im thinking windy conditions etc: from the pix seems to have a strange blade design, just a quick answer to satisfy my curiosity. cheers
