Tune is "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC

Take a look at THIS

Good stuff but the downside is that it's 20mb.

MG,

A good video, but to save others wasting 20mb of download it's a YART :(

The Dennis Kenyon video has been around for a while ;)

Yet Another Rehashed Thread :cool:

If you're new to the forum (and others), it's a good link and will stream so you should be able to watch it without too much delay.

First Solo helicopter video (don't try this at home)

I was looking for the video of the guy who decided to have a little go in his new helicopter before getting the instructor involved.

I've done a search but I can't find it.

Can anyone help?

That's the one, thanks very much.

Cheers
