Royals and Robbies

[Whirlygig]

Heliski, not sure whether the umbrage taken by my English half is outweighed by the mirth experienced by my Irish half!!!

Cheers

Topend....whatever ....do you ever make any sense at all ??????
I agree tho, that we should all agree to stop robbo bashing .

[DBChopper]

TET,

I have to agree with Nigelh....

What on earth are you on about???

[Heli-phile]

Robinson Bashing??

Interesting how an enquiry as to why no VVIP or Royals use Robbies is deemed Robbie bashing.

Anyway there must be some VVIPs or Royals that have, how about including just mere VIP's, would that help??

Wobinson!!

Perhaps Frank should rename the brand as "Rotkehlchen-Sohn"
Should be easier to "pwonownce"

Is that all it would take do you think?

You don't need to bash an R22 - fly it without keeping your skills up and it will do it for you

Well said.

Well maaaate , I just took your quote below as to be another inthe vein of Robbo bashing, please forgive me if you were innocently posting an observation. Not a wise thing to do here, without qualifying it.

I wouldn't start getting too sensitive about that, or you'll be typing on here for the rest of your life!

I would say CB, (err DCB is it?), ( sorry it's DBC), that for a machine that has 322 posts, you are indeed a halfwit if you have not noticed that I have squared off against nigelh every time that he has given lip toward the fabled R22.

However

I agree tho, that we should all agree to stop robbo bashing .

This excerpt earns my full admiration.

Thank you nigelh and peace be with you. Don't forget that invitiation that I extended to you some time ago, for a beer and a chat.

My lounge room is big enough to fly '47's around whilst enjoying that beer, and outside there are a few trees to fly around whilst practising the art of evading agressive mooieees. albeit in a R22. alla my '47's have long gone.

Carry on bashing

Torquendtop,

I thank you for your advice. Sadly, I must be a halfwit. I fly only Robbies and love 'em

Yours,

DcBopper (damn - always get that wrong )

Nigel - you need to end up on your side in a field in one to fully appreciate the shortcomings of the fabled R22 The only time I have been thankful for a low inertia rotor system!

LOL
a bugger of a kid,
you must have been.

'82, yes that's about when I endorsed on one, those leightweight blades were something else.
much better now.

Prince Andrew definitely flew in a Robinson R22 when he attended the HCGB Championships at Broadlands, Hampshire. I do not recall the date, but think it was in the mid 1980s.

Prince A

Yup-I remember that.

[nigelh]

that would explain why he has given up flying and taken up golf .....

[JCR]

R22/Golf

Flying is cheaper than golf!

Vital Actions - I paid for my R22 time, all 13 hours of it!

[Um... lifting...]

That fabled military training isn't free, despite what many seem to think...

at least in the colonies that million or so that it costs is shoved up your nether regions a nickel at a time... (crab, one would assume it's a bob at a time in UK)

We know what 'royals' are in my part of the world... and yes, Charles Bronson is the agriculture commissioner... I'm pretty sure he's not the same one...

[Bootneck]

Tet,




Good try though.

[topendtorque]

Thanks bootneck, well done, it obviously must have been a passing fantasy, I shoulld have bloody well known better.

BTW
playing golf must be a better pastime than "picking flowers"?
