Hey VF, in your last post that tiny plot of land next to the river, with the stone fence line looks vaguely familiar. That's not the location of your heart-stopping autorotation, is it? P.S., love the pics, especially of the local flora and fauna (people and otherwise).

Was the Compressor thing too heavy/high to sling? I would have made them dismantle it. Maybe I need more time in Asia though.

I'm sure you're allowed more on the hook than on the floor?

Hey nuthin

Compressor I flew in from 33nmiles away & weighed in at about 400kg :oh: hehehehehe :ooh:

Hey krypton_joh

Absolutely correct.......:O but over these parts they don't like to sling := + distances are often long 15-25mins one way, would be quiet a bit longer on the hook :*

Happy Happy :ok:

I guess Canada has a slinging culture then. Next time say you can put it in the tool shed for them with a longline (small bit of pendulum effect and timing you can get it in a door way)
33 miles is not that far to sling stuff here. We have mobed in drills (30 loads +)
over 40 miles from the nearest airstrip and the airstrip was a further 1 hr flight from the nearest road.

Cheers

Actually, it would have been faster and easier to longline it to your destination, that kind of a load would have flown perfectly at 80kts and been a lot safer, easier on the aircraft and your back as well.

Nothing wrong with it though, just different places, different ways of doing things.

Screw placards. Guess it's pilot's discretion, too.

Hey nuthin

Oh I hear You Brother, loud & clear; sadly these guys are reluctant to do sling & I've worn out my vocal cords trying to persuade them to sling :ouch:
