    I'm a fan too mate! (There's at least two of us - lol) I'm following your record attempt. :)

          Good to know, I really do love to fly...I'll still probably fly every day even after the 365th day.

                          2 flights trying to beat another rain storm moving in. First flight went great but I didn't notice the nose gear got stuck and didn't deploy so the landing scraped up the nose cone pretty good. Fixed the gear and took her up for a second flight. I spliced both flights together. Hopefully YouTube doesn't yank the sound track, goes perfect.

                              Nice vid, nice flying, nice tunes. Nice one mate ;)

                              pity bout the nose gear, but I swear you almost clipped the corner of the roof of that building in one shot, coulda been heaps worse lol.

                              Is your 16 stock mate? Seems to go pretty good in the vertical.

                                      Last night I decided to maiden my TA 152 that I bought last Fall.

                                      I about lost it several times on the maiden because it was so damn squirly. I landed after 1 minute and barely at that.

                                      I set lower rates and added a little more expo and tried again. On takeoff one of the landing gear caught the grass and was torn out. No damage to the foam, some 5 minute epoxy and it'll be good as new.

                                      On the one flight I did get I noticed the left rolling tendency when it left the runway, glad I was warned about that as I was ready for it. We've got rain and wind for the next few days so I won't get to try it again right away.

                                        That was what I was thinking when I saw it. I guess you could call it a Super Airwolf, it is a Bell 430 vs a 222 in the series. It was way too much fun :). My first helicopter time in a twin engined, rectractable landing gear machine.

                                        Very nice flight on the 16 Aros, I'm sure you'll have the nose fixed up in no time! Also beautiful shot of the Tigercat, TI!
