I noticed some articles in the news in the last couple of days suggesting Sherpas are worried that frequent (unauthorised) tourist flights above everest base camp are creating an avalanche danger from the noise & vibration. How busy is it up there? Are you going to need some ATC around the mountain?

Hey Peter 3127....with that massive sail (fin) hover stability is a challenge. It is no match for a B3 in the Mountains, at sea-level WoW :} (sorry missed Your post earlier) :{ yep the T2 has a had a few mods to reinforce known weaknesses of the boom :D

G'day Non-PC Plod.....nothing surprises me about Nepal :suspect: as I'm not there I can't give an accurate comment, however from a Mate flying there now; no flights into the Western Khumb (Everest above BC) are flown without prior permission :confused: as for ATC...they are of little use in KTM so can't see them helping much up there....it's all uncontrolled air space, so Pilot's simply talk to each other for separation :ok: Avalanche risk from Helicopters :rolleyes: (nonsense) :uhoh:

How are you finding new ride especially the Fenistron .
You look relaxed as does belovid

Hey 500e.....thanks Mate, it is very relaxed & nice here :O new ride is like a limo, just got to be careful with the Fenestron. Flying technique is very different, You gotta pre load before it's required otherwise You get a huge Ng spike, but once Your used to it, it's OK :ooh:
