R22 versatility
 

The R22 is a little more versatile than some would have you beleive......

Is this a mod to help prevent rollover?

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!) :)

Is it a hover training aid?

Oh I get it now. It's the aerial for the new FM immune radio.

Its the really BIG rubber band mod we've heard so much about?

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 :)

A hedgetrimmer that does both sides of the road simultaneously?

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!

Heliport

Is that Whirly advertising her new Mountain Flying course ? :D

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" ...... :E

Nice photo. Shame to spoil it with the 22...:p :p :p

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

Eclipsed by the moon
 

Hiller beat Robinson and Hughes by many "moons"

I knew it. Them hillers'd scare the pants off anyone

Robbo Jock,

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

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!
