That the aircraft needs a good track and balance to get rid of the vertical bounce? :p

By the perspective on the runway lights alone, way below the glidepath.

Wouldn't worry about the blade tracking..............
The bounce is probably MD900 induced :E

Guess your computer not yet in a crate then????

U gonna manage a beer before you head off?

Golden Rule for PAPI.
White - White! You'll fly all night. To high.
Red - White! You're right. On profile.
Red - Red! You're DEAD. Too low.

Yeah the vibration was a little much, but i just couldn't work out why the last photo has a dragon like pattern to it...

Had a beer, after the flight..too right, and the computer is well on its way to the crate... as we speak.

If you can manage a beer in the next 36 hours call me, i will fly to any bar you mention..:ok:

The first thing that would cross my mind would be where has my helicopter gone:suspect:
